Katie Howerton
Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of Alaska! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things Alaska for my future trips and yours. Things I particularly love that you’ll find a lot of:
☕️ Coffee shops & bakeries
🌮 Local cuisine
🏛️ Museums of all kinds
🌳 Gardens & parks
🛏️ Boutique hotels
🍕 Small regional chains with good reputations
All my guides in this category are $5 per 100 places included, but since I add to these constantly, you can lock down the lowest price today and gain a lifetime access!

Ultima Thule Inc
@katie.howerton
Suggestion from The Discoverer. Isolated (nearest road 100mi away), so you have to get there by bush plane.

Juneau
@katie.howerton
Suggestion from The Discoverer. Truly wild. Capital of AK. Borders with Canada. No roads, only accessed by planes and boats. Best to visit Apr-Jun, but Cruise season is May-Sep. Quaint downtown.
