Description

Low Bush Cranberry Dyed and Polished Moose Antler; Garnet; Herkimer Diamonds; 14/20 Yellow Gold Beads and wire wrapped headpins; Sterling Silver welded jump rings; and 14/20 Rose Gold Lever Back ear wires.

Each fall growing up in rural Alaska, picking berries is a big part of the summer and fall activities. Lowbush cranberries ripen as the first frost comes in late August or early September. This pair reminded me of the first frost and picking ripe lowbush cranberries for cranberry sauce to eat with our meat.

Silver Hand Artist Ramy Brooks creating authentic handmade Alaska Native Art in Alaska, each piece is unique and comes with the Silver Hand Tag to verify its authenticity. Ramy grew up locally on the Yukon River between fish camp, the village of Rampart, and Fairbanks. Ramy’s work reflects his Athabascan and Yupik heritage, experiences growing up in a rural environment, subsistence lifestyle, and his love of the outdoors. Inspirations come from the wildlife, the wilderness, and the importance of their role in Alaska Native culture like fishing, smoked salmon, hunting, and berry picking. Ramy uses a combination of natural dyes (blueberries, cranberries, alder bark, etc.) and inks to highlight his work. Antlers are cut and sanded by hand, engraved, dyed, polished, and then riveted with copper and/or silver. The jewelry is a mix of traditional and contemporary artwork that allows Ramy to share his love for his heritage and the beauty he has experienced in his many adventures throughout Alaska.

4 Hour Chulitna River Float Trip

Rafting through the pristine wildlands of Denali State Park (and the borderlands of Denali National Park), you will see vistas and magnificent scenery most folks just read about or experience via magazines. The raft launch is at mile 133 of the Parks Highway. Your trip will begin here or in Talkeetna, depending upon where you are staying. We provide complimentary transportation from Talkeetna. At the river’s edge, you will participate in a brief safety lecture and demonstration before launching and floating the nineteen miles of the glacial-fed Chulitna back to Talkeetna. Almost throughout the entire length of the trip, a stunning view of Mt. McKinley (20,320′) and the entire Alaska Range provide a spectacular backdrop. This remote portion of the Chulitna River is a prime Bald Eagle, bear, salmon, and moose habitat. On clear days, the view is unparalleled for photo opportunities. For a small additional fee, we even have a professional photographer available to take pictures of you, your raft & guide – with this magnificent vista in the background.

Pack Creek Brown Bear Viewing

Join us for an unforgettable brown bear viewing adventure at the renowned “Fortress of the Bears” within the Pack Creek Bear Sanctuary, the premier coastal brown bear viewing area on Admiralty Island. Your day begins with a trip briefing and safety orientation led by your experienced wilderness guide, followed with a breathtaking 25-minute floatplane flight to Pack Creek. Upon landing, you’ll be warmly greeted by the dedicated rangers of Pack Creek. Your guide will then lead you on a journey along the very paths the bears tread, guiding you through shoreline and forest trails to prime brown bear viewing locations. Known as the “Fortress of the Bears,” Admiralty Island holds the Tlingit name Kootznoowoo, and it lives up to its title with an impressive brown bear population of approximately 1,800 brown bears. This island boasts one of the highest bear densities in the world, with roughly one brown bear per square mile. It’s home to about 10% of Alaska’s entire brown bear population, making it one of the most densely populated brown bear areas on the planet. From the banks of Pack Creek, you’ll have the incredible opportunity to observe bears in their natural habitat, whether they’re clamming or foraging on beach greens, salmon fishing in the creek, or enjoying a nap in the tall grass. While we can’t guarantee wildlife sightings, the abundant bear population in the Pack Creek vicinity seldom disappoints. Brown bears are most active during mating season (late May – June) and annual salmon runs (late July – August). We are grateful to the Tlingit village of Angoon for allowing us to share this part of their homeland with our guests. Pack Creek is an ecosystem teeming with diverse flora and fauna, providing abundant nourishment for the thriving brown bear population on Admiralty Island. Eagles soar over Admiralty’s lakes, their calls echoing in harmony with the diverse bird population. This experience is a true gem of Southeast Alaska, offering visitors the chance to closely observe and photograph wildlife in their natural environment. Highlights: * Experience the thrill of viewing brown bears in their natural habitat * Enjoy a scenic float plane flight to Admiralty Island * Learn about the brown bears of Pack Creek Bear Sanctuary and their unique ecosystem * Capture stunning photos of these amazing creatures
