TRAVEL TO ALASKA
You'll likely need to make a connection flight through Seattle (SEA), Minneapolis (MSP), Los Angeles (LAX) or Chicago (ORD) to get here. We love you for making the trek! Pro Tip: on your flight TO Anchorage book seats on the RIGHT side of the plane. On your flights LEAVING Alaska book on the LEFT side. If the skies are clear you will see endless mountains like the photo on the left. The photo was Dan's FIRST flight to Alaska in 2013.
YES! The venue and the town of Talkeetna are a 2.5 hour drive north of Anchorage. Although we do have Uber and Lyft in Anchorage now (huzzah!), most things in Alaska aren't within walking distance from one another. You'll have much more flexibility to explore (highly recommended!) if you rent a car. Turo, the Airbnb of Cars, if you're not keen on paying peak season rates for a rental car from a big-box company.
