Deciding how to get from Anchorage to the cruise terminal in Whittier is one of those classic Alaska trip-planning dilemmas where there is genuinely no wrong answer, but the two options give you slightly different experiences. It really comes down to choosing between classic rail romance or turning your transit day into a mini wildlife safari.

If you choose the Alaska Railroad, you are signing up for a relaxing ride, sitting by a massive picture window with a hot drink, letting the train do all the work until you glide straight through the mountain tunnel right to the ship docks. It is smooth, classic, and incredibly peaceful.

On the flip side, booking a bus transfer that stops at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center lets you break up the drive and get out on foot. Spending an hour wandering the sanctuary means you are guaranteed to stand face-to-face with Alaska's wildlife—including massive wood bison, moose, musk oxen, and grizzly bears. Plus, having a local driver-guide narrating the drive along the highway adds a ton of great context about the history of the valley and the quirky town of Whittier before you arrive.

If your priority is a relaxing, iconic rail journey where you just want to watch the mountains drift by, lock in the train. But if you want to turn a necessary travel day into an active adventure and cross a few major animals off your bucket list before your cruise even leaves the dock, the bus tour with the wildlife conservation center is the ultimate travel hack.

If you are driving down the Kenai Peninsula, there is a moment when the highway rounds a final bend and you are hit with one of the most surreal sights in Alaska: a tiny, narrow ribbon of land stretching five miles straight out into the deep blue waters of Kachemak Bay. This is the Homer Spit, and once you drive out onto it, you quickly realize you have reached a place that feels like the absolute edge of the earth.

The Spit is a fascinating contradiction. On one side, it is a rugged, fully functioning industrial fishing hub. You can walk down the docks of the harbor and watch commercial boats unloading massive catches of halibut and salmon, or talk to local charter captains who are getting ready to head out into the rough waters of the gulf. It is loud, salty, and completely authentic.

But just a few steps away from the working docks, the Spit transitions into this quirky, high-energy boardwalk community. The road is lined with colorful, weather-beaten wooden shacks built on stilts, housing incredible local art galleries, boutique clothing shops, and some of the best seafood restaurants in the state. It is the kind of place where you can grab a world-class espresso, buy a piece of hand-carved native art, and then walk across the gravel road to sit on the beach and watch a bald eagle fight a gull over a fish scrap.

If you find yourself caught in a downpour while staying in Anchorage, there is no better place to escape the weather than the Anchorage Museum. Rainy days are practically an invitation to slow down your travel itinerary, and this world-class space right in the heart of downtown is the ultimate spot to swap outdoor hiking for a deep dive into the art, history, and science of the North.

From these photos, you might be surprised that I don't love the cold, but I will still travel to cold places to see beautiful sites. If you've ever wanted to go to Antarctica, I am hosting a group trip on an expedition ship in February 2028 with discounted group pricing held only until next week!

Comment if you'd like more info or if you'd like help being matched with a roommate.

There is a distinct difference between seeing animals in a zoo and experiencing true, untamed wildlife in a place like Yellowstone National Park. Standing on the edge of a valley and watching apex predators and massive megafauna move through their natural habitat completely reframes your perspective on the natural world. It is a stark reminder that when you step past the park gates, you are entering a fully functioning ecosystem where humans are merely quiet observers.

The sheer scale of the wildlife here is anchored by the free-roaming bison herds. Watching a group of these prehistoric-looking giants graze their way across the sweeping meadows of the Lamar or Hayden Valleys is a mesmerizing experience. They move with an effortless, slow-motion confidence, completely unbothered by their surroundings until a sudden, powerful display of dominance cuts through the herd. Hearing the deep, low rumble of a bull bison communicating across the grassland is a sound that vibrates right through the ground under your feet, leaving no doubt about the raw strength packed into their massive frames.

But the energy of the park shifts to an entirely different level of intensity when someone spots a grizzly bear. Scanning the sagebrush hillsides with binoculars and finally locking eyes on a grizzly foraging for roots or moving with that distinct, deliberate shoulder-hump stride is an unforgettable rush. There is an undeniable aura of power and intelligence to them.

What makes Yellowstone so magical is how these worlds overlap in real time. You might spend your morning watching a traffic jam caused entirely by a bison herd crossing the road, and your afternoon witnessing a grizzly bear patrolling a ridge line in the distance. It is a living, breathing landscape where the ancient dramas of survival play out every single day, proving that there are still places left where nature rules completely uncontested.

I hear Yellowstone National Park is getting snow again right now. We were there towards the end of May and were snowed on as we drove from Cody to the East Entrance, a stop at Yellowstone Lake, and Artist Point at the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Always a fun day in Yellowstone!
