There is nothing better than exploring Alaska’s vast beauty together as a family. Especially in the fall, when the fresh air and the incredible colors start settling in. Join us on our recent family moose hunt in the interior of Alaska. Thank you for being such a big part of our lives.
Lots of Love,
Steve, Simone, Amy Faye, Lily and Hendrik
Our sweet guest shared this video with us today. We never get tired of these visitors in our backyard đź’•
After all these years of living in Alaska, we finally had the opportunity to explore Hatcher Pass. By far, this has been one of the most beautiful places we have seen in Alaska. What a blessing to be surrounded by God’s breathtaking and humbling creation.
The Historical Mine Hatcher Pass…
And off course, the fireweed has been beautiful in color…
We love these kind of guest at Alaska Haven! Moose are such peaceful animals. It is such a joy to watch them.
Living in Alaska is more than an adventure, it truly is a lifestyle. We have been “working hard” hunting in order to provide meat for the upcoming season. After tracking the moving of the caribou herds for a week up north, we decided to drive up the famous Haul Road reaching our destination at around 25o miles north of the Arctic Circle. The remote and vast landscapes of the north are truly breathtaking and humbling. Stalking various herds of caribou for a few days, ranging from 50 to 500 in number, we finally were able to get within 30 yards to harvest one caribou with a bow and arrow. After driving 350 miles, sleeping in a tent for several nights at -20 degrees fahrenheit, and hunting all day, we headed for home thankful, cold and very tired.
After this successful caribou hunt, we enjoyed processing the meat as a family. This time we chose to make Bacon Beer Caribou Brats and Jalapeño Cheese Summer Sausage. They turned out amazing and can only be tasted here at Alaska Haven.

This past weekend has been a true blessing. We had the opportunity to stay in a beautiful cabin in the middle of the snow covered mountains only a close drive away from Alaska Haven.
The view from the cabin and the sound of the running water just completed this wonderful family get away.
 
The weather was wonderful and the views we enjoyed were breathtaking.
We hiked and drove the atvs during the day watching for moose and of course playing in the snow;)
The evenings consisted of a warm and cozy fire, playing games and cooking dinner…LOVE ALASKA!!
