Dennis DeVore takes you on a narrated tour of Historic Talkeetna and a visit to an original remote Alaskan homestead.
The DeVore family established their homestead in the harsh conditions of Alaska's interior in 1959. Dennis takes you back to the early days. Drive your own ATV or enjoy a scenic ride in a ATV-drawn covered wagon over the five-mile trail to the homestead. You'll be served lunch at Dennis' personal cabin at the back quarter of the homestead. After lunch, you have a choice of activities depending on the season and weather: gold panning on Wiggle Creek, relaxing with a game of horseshoes, berry picking, just enjoying the forest surroundings and photographing wildlife and Mt. McKinley.
