September 20, 2021

"Located south of Alaska's Kenai River City of Soldotna on the Sterling Highway is the wickedly underrated community of Kasilof, population 550. The massive widespread beaches, captivating lakes, prolific rivers, and awe-inspring vistas are loved fiercely by Last Frontier locals. But many visitors often overlook this tiny drive-by town in route directly to Homer, Alaska's halibut fishing capital of the world."

"At the 200-acre Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, jaws drop in awe-even those of longtime Alaskans who've studied grizzlies and other animals up close. AWCC's mission is to preserve Alaska’s wildlife through conservation, research, education and quality animal care. The center, which opened to the public in 1993, also educates visitors about Alaska's wildlife. Coyotes peer out from behind the brush while a bald eagle swoops in on the salmon remains left by a grizzly bear. Wood Bison plod through 65 acres of tidal flat terrain, as part of a program that have restored the species to the Alaskan wilderness. Animals that cannot be released into the wild are given a permanent home at the center. Come be a part of these exciting programs and watch these animals display their natural, “wild”, behavior."
