Owen and I have both been feeling a visit was long overdue. However this time, we wanted to see the park for the first time in the winter under a blanket of snow. In order to hike in the snow, we needed to pick up a little extra gear. We hatched the idea to rent some snowshoes from REI, so we could hike in the snow out to see the Giant Sequoia trees of the Mariposa Grove.

Knowledge will always be your most powerful tool for overlanding, or any type of travel for that matter. Before you head out to start overlanding it’s important to know camping etiquette, Leave No Trace principles, fire regulations, road conditions, if there is likely to be cellphone service, and if there is any specific gear you need to safely travel that area.

In this blog post we do a deep dive into the logistics for planning a visit to Katmai National Park and Preserve. The park isn’t accessible by road thus it takes a little extra planning and strategy to get to.

Juneau was our first official stop in Alaska! We’d heard wonderful things about the area and looked forward to a week of stopping in the state capitol.
