Possibly one of the best adventure destinations on the planet, this small town just a couple of hours north of Anchorage was the town that helped to inspire the television series, Northern Exposure. While it is a world apart from the actual show, the charm of the place is like no other and the residents of the town are one of its greatest assets. We spent about a week here, did an interview with the internet radio station Whole Wheat Radio and got involved in so many crazy activities we would not even know where to begin telling stories.
Steve Mahay started a company many years ago after exploring the rivers around Talkeetna in a small jetboat. His love for the rapids has allowed him to grow this family business into a death defying fleet of boats that take eager adventures up the rivers daily in class 5 rapids.

We had the chance to take a ride with Talkeetna Air Taki to see the giant Denali mountain and land on a glacier at Denali Basecamp. It is one of the most incredible experiences on the planet.
At the end of the Dalton highway at the very top of the Pan American Highway is Prudhoe Bay. It marks the end of the journey for the world by road and the farthest north point that you can drive in North America. It was a rough journey, but exciting for the end of the expedition.
