Audio Tour Alaska

The legendary summer salmon run is officially underway as thousands of sockeye salmon push their way into the upper Kenai River.

This massive biological migration triggers incredible excitement across the state, prompting passionate anglers to flock to the riverbanks in droves.

The phenomenon creates what locals affectionately call "combat fishing," where fishermen stand shoulder-to-shoulder in the turquoise waters.

Everyone is eager to land a prize fish, casting their lines with intense focus amidst the stunning mountain backdrop of Cooper Landing. It is not just humans who are excited, as local brown bears and bald eagles also gather to partake in the seasonal feast.

If you want to experience the true heartbeat of Alaskan outdoor culture, there is nothing quite like witnessing this high-energy fishing frenzy.

Imagine leaving everything behind for a chance at a new life in the wild north.
On this day in 1935, over 200 families gathered for a life-changing drawing.

Part of FDR’s New Deal, this was a "relief and development" project for the Midwest.
Families from Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan moved to the Matanuska Valley.

They drew lots for 40-acre tracts of land, hoping to become self-sufficient farmers.
Think of it like a government-sponsored "homesteading lottery" during the Great Depression.

Today, the valley remains the heart of Alaska’s agriculture—and home to giant pumpkins!
