It’s hard to imagine a better weekend getaway here in Alaska. The sun was shining all weekend, Denali was out, we got lots of reading and relaxing time, we got to experience a beautiful Alaskan lodge, eat great food, and just have so much fun together. It’s exactly what we had hoped this weekend would be!
Before we head home we do some exploring around the town of Trapper Creek, where I (Adam) was raised. We check out the elementary school, go to the location of my family’s lodge, the place I caught my first fish, an then go visit a memorial wall where I see so many names that I remember from when I was a kid.
Ending this weekend with very full hearts.

Ah, thank you for the shout-outs. I enjoyed meeting you both too. Have you seen the ornament at the Christmas shop in Talkeetna? They have a pale gray ornament that is airbrushed with blacks and grays with scenes and animals. It is made from glacial silt and is light as a feather. That pear and prosciutto flat bread is delicious.

I love you guys! You have cheered me up immensely tonight. Thank you for a wonderful, sweet video. Grammy from Texas

Thank you for the wonderful video it shows us the views we missed seeing 2 weeks ago. We stayed there on the 11 and 12th June and it was rainy and overcast with no view of Denali, the campfire s'mores area was also rained out. We were in the 70% not seeing Denali group until the train ride from Denali lodge to Whitter on the 15th June where we saw Denali from the train near Talkeetna - it was outstanding. I agree the ranger who did the wolf talk was very engaging. He also took the nature walk tour ( you have a lot of dangerous plants ). Fun fact at 42.42 in your video the tree you see with the bark missing nearly all the way to the base, the ranger said Porcupines camped in that tree for the winter and stripped the bark.

Congrats Sherri on your win and thank you both for showing us your beautiful state! I can’t wait to get back to Alaska and just drive & see some of the same places… that’s my next trip! Fly into ANC, get a car & drive! ❤

And it comes with a Sherri. Of all the cute things you say about/to Sherri this is my favourite! Another 🔥 video vlog!

@JackieGegg65 9 дней назад

I was so happy and excited to meet you guys at the lodge when you were checking in! You were both so nice. I love watching this video, especially since my family was there at the same time as you guys were. And to see Denali that next morning so clearly was such an amazing blessing! Glad you guys had such a nice time at the lodge - we certainly did!

Man I wish I could buy from the little blue bakery stand. I want that brownie! lol Thank you for sharing your trip!

I just love you both to pieces. You brought back some memories. My BFF and I took a Land/Sea Tour with Princess last year May and stayed at both Denali Lodges and it was awesome. We are part of the lucky 30% to see Denali for all three days in a row and I don't get sick of looking at the beautiful scenery. I'm planning on working for the Summer with HAP in Alaska after I retire from my current job (Dec 2025) and can definitely see myself returning year after year to work there. Hopefully one of these days we will meet. Alaska should be on everyone bucket list to visit. Stay safe and healthy. Love from Central Florida

Lucky you How sweet your room comes with a Sherry 😊 Tim says our room would come with a "Kat" 😂 take care have a great week Hi Sherry 👋 😊 we love you guys to 😊

It’s always interesting to note that this lodge is still over 100 miles away from the Denali National Park, but is in fact inside the Denali State Park. A lot don’t realize there are actually two different Denali parks in Alaska. The views you see of the mountain from this location are South face while in the National park is North face. Two totally different views. I’m rather partial to South face.

I’m having a little PTSD from that metal merry go round thingie. I was on one of those when I was 4-5 and got so dizzy that I fainted then hit my forehead on one of the metal welded sections of the “hand rails”. I’ve had a nice scar on my forehead for almost 45 years now. I also remember burning the heck out of my legs on the metal slides. That how they turned us into tough kids. lol, thanks for the flashbacks

Great video! You guys are bssically cruising without actually cruising!😅 The perks of Sherris job, lucky!! ❤

@melisagodair4149 8 дней назад

When we were up there a couple of weeks ago we stopped at that little blue roadside homemade Sourdough stand...SO GOOD! Those cookies were wonderful but her bread so yummy😋 . I let her know via text we’d heard about her via your vlogs. Her exact quote “Wow! How Exciting”.

@kroozqwn9528 14 дней назад

Thank you for the AWESOME vlog! 💕😀 Also wanted to say that Sherri’s dress is sooo cute!

@user-gx9in5ks2c 15 дней назад

Wow- they have made some great improvements since last summer! Can’t wait to return! Great vlog!

@janelleroads6011 15 дней назад

We were just there the beginning of June and the weather was in the upper 40s! What a difference 3 weeks make!

@cathyrobinson8667 14 дней назад

We did the Princess cruise and land tour last September. The Lodge was beautiful and we saw Denali and ate at 20,320. By the time we got there, it was basically too late to do anything. Would have loved more time.

@leannestephan3559 14 дней назад

Loved your staycation and seeing a bit of Trapper Creek. Did you see bears there when living there? Also, that pink top Sherri wire in the first night looked gorgeous on her and colour suits her so much 😍

@florencesnyder6125 15 дней назад

❤I read Housemaid and Housemaid's Secret. I love to read too. Steven King's books are so heavy they hurt my wrists. I love reading from a real book rather than a kindle.

@shelagh7850 12 дней назад

I went to Talkeetna today and had some of that Spinach Bread you always mention and it was delicious.

@loriannkruithof2043 15 дней назад

@user-gk3wc1mo1t 15 дней назад

Just like a cruise - activities, fruity drinks, and even warm sunny weather! 💜💜

It is a spinny metal thing🤔🧐 and yes it sucks going down a metal slide on a sunny day.😅💚🤍💙

@theresakramer3252 15 дней назад

You two are so cute😊 I loved the video, but I do feel cheated... Missy didn't make an appearance ❤❤❤

@karenpaet2104 14 дней назад

That place was so beautiful and looked very relaxing. Maybe I missed it, but did you pick up an ornament from the gift shop? Like Sherri, I don’t like salmon either. I’ve tried it several times but never liked it! And, I’m born & raised in Hawaii but don’t like fish, poke or any sushi that has any seafood on it. I actually only eat a small variety of seafood but can’t tolerate most of the different types.

@lavernelee908 15 дней назад

I loved this vlog! Denali at sunset never grows old. I have a Cookbook that I picked up YEARS ago called "Alaskan Backwoods Cooking" a collection of recipes by Trapper Creek Elementary! Was your parents lodge on the Petersville Road? I remember going to the roadhouse at the "end" several times. I am trying to picture where your parents' lodge was located.

@user-gk3wc1mo1t 13 дней назад

Cache Creek Lodge was on the Park’s highway at the Petersville road intersection.

@madformessier 15 дней назад

Do the cruise ships passengers stay here.? How blessed are you to get to stay in a stunningly beautiful place. Where you can do as much or as little as you want.

@susanbarnett761 15 дней назад

Love the lodge. My only concern is the lack of air conditioning. Are there any areas that have ac ?

@loriannkruithof2043 15 дней назад

I am concerned about not having A/C myself.

@mamaceleste153 14 дней назад

Im going to sound stupid asking about the roadside bread stand, but here goes. Isnt a cupboard full of bread and goodies a bear attractant? Maybe Im just worrier.
