The Scenic Route with Stories
Published on Jan, 2025
I showed up on my last day visiting Alaska for work and almost flew home early because the weather was rather cloudy. I was the only person who showed up in mid-January for the tour and Jet welcomed me with warmth and excitement for the day. We proceeded to share great conversation and local food between stories and an impressive wealth of knowledge about Anchorage and Alaska. From nature to culture and history, Jet knows what he is talking about. We had a beautiful day with adventures and calm getting to drive the beautiful highway toward the Chugach and Kenai Mountain ranges. Grateful I stayed and got to see some of this beautiful landscape even if I know it’s just the tip of the iceberg. I want to come back in the summer.
Great experience

Jet was great! He was super knowledgable and kind. He made everyone laugh and answered all our questions. He offered to take pictures of anyone who wanted and was a safe driver. There were so many stops along the way; we got so many picture opportunities. I would recommend!
