I have lived here in Valdez for 20+ years! I have my final resting place paid for and will spend forever watching the new bears grow up, what a blessing. Enjoy your trip and visit often.
Our son was in college in Oregon when the spill happened. His dad got him a job working on the spill. It ectended his college by one year but it was all paid for after that plus a beautiful Honda motorcycle to ride out of Alaska to Oregon. Quite the adventure.
He was part of the action in Valdez. Thank you so much for watching! That would be an adventure riding from Alaska on a motorcycle
Thank you so much for taking us all along on your trip!!!! 💖 Alaska is such a beautiful state! 🥰🥰
Thank you so much for watching!
I loved all these Holidays a big thank you Mark and Lauren xxxxx❤❤❤❤❤❤ thanks to Mum And Dad looking after the children
So excited for you , Mark and twins. God bless your pregnancy much love to you and family.
Thank you so much for the guided tour. I live near the Rocky Mountain range and I thought those mountains were beautiful. But Alaska mountains r just spectacular 🇨🇦♥️🇨🇦
Having lived in the Appalachian Mountains and driven through the U.S. portion of the Rocky Mountains, I agree the mountains and glaciers of Alaska are absolutely breathtaking. Being in Oklahoma the thing I miss the most is being able to see and drive through the mountains. Thank you for the views.
Glad you enjoyed it! I love all mountain areas in the US but Alaska does have so many spectacular views that just blow you away.
I am disabled and the likely hood of getting to see any mountain range again is low so I get my fix through videos like this. When my dad had to go to NC due to family health issues for his siblings I asked him to take some pictures and videos for me and he did. Thank you for letting me live vicariously through you and your family adventures. Congratulations on your babies.
Awww love the pic of Hunter 🥰
I looked through his baby pictures for so long, fun to remember him so small.
When I see Bennett I see Mark the way they move, talk and look . I see Mark in all the boys but him and Bennett are twins. I see Hunters passion of fishing ,hunting and anything outside like Mark. Westley I see you both in him he just a cutie and very loven. Can't forget Everett the baby for the time being is a mommy's all the way he's still learning to see to see where he belongs I think the next little UA-camr . But you guys have a wonderful family but I hope you get at least one girl out of the bunch.😊
I love watching how each of the boys change and develop their interests. Yes, Bennett is Mark’s mini-me with looks. Love our boys and excited to add 2 more babies to the bunch! Thank you so much for watching!
@@ThisAlaskaLife I really enjoy watching your family the shopping, cooking and everything else I've been watching almost two years. I started to tear up when you guy said you were pregnant and then with twins hope you and the babies are doing great.
I was in Kotzebue the end of August
Got to go net checking, boated to two places we climbed to for blueberries, road 6 wheeler with dogs running in front
Also took 4 wheeler out to tundra for more berries. Had a ball staying with my friend. We did so much without using a truck
Next time i will rough it at their camp
Weather turned so we didn’t get to go
It requires boating there or going over ice when frozen
My sister has a cabin in Glenn Allen and we eat at that Thai place quite often. It's very good.
Yummy!
Lauren, thank you so much for sharing with all of us....i really enjoyed the drive with you and all the informative information....great job!
Thank you so much Mary! Glad you enjoyed coming along.
Lauren, as you know, i live in New Hampshire, but i am moving to northern maine by october 31st on my daughter's property, and my youngest granddaughter is 10 and she absolutely loves watching the Costco shopping trips with Everett....well she came in my bedroom and asked what i was watching i told her i was watching "this Alaska life' and she asked how Everett was doing....then i told her about the twins and she is so happy for you and your family.... her mouth fell open when i told her you were having another baby and that it is twins lol....when i am fully moved in here and settled she want's to help me make something special for the twins....we are so excited for all of you....and i truly appreciate the family content and no cursing, this way i can watch all of your video's with her....lot's of wishes and love from New Hampshire and far northern maine
What a lovely video and your voice is so calming Lauren, thank you 😊 xxx
I watching Thursday 14th September 2023 lol
I've taken this drive in the summer and winter. Winter time I got snowed in and had to stay an extra day. Driving back going through Keystone Canyon and Thompson Pass was unreal. It was the best trip ever. The views are amazing. Will be going back
I'm watching with my grandson Travis who's 4 and very funny. When you're pulling up to the signs and you say, okay this sign says, Travis looks at my screen and yells STOP! Before you had time to say Valdez to the right ..... I laughed so hard. I love it when you do these tour videos they are so informative. Until next time much love and many prayers. 💖💖💖
That is so sweet! Little kids always keep us on your toes. Thanks for watching!
I love when you travel, you always show the sights, and they are so beautiful. Happy to see you getting away with Mark. Such love between you both and still have a lot of love to share with your family and friends.
Thanks Mark and Lauren. Such breathtaking views. The scenery, is gorgeous. 🎉❤
Did thank you very much it was a beautiful ride I hope you both have a beautiful time when you get a where you are going.
Have been to McCarthy/Kenicott. An amazing community. We had dinner at the mine and it was amazing. We had a truck/camper and it was worth the trip. We spent the night along the road back. My husbands dad owns property in Valdez so we spent a couple days there. Valdez is where my guy grew up.
We went to Tok Thai in May 2023. We drove from New York State to Anchorage to visit our daughter and son-in-law. We ate there again a few days later when we all went to McCarthy for the weekend. It was a great trip.
Thank you for the beautiful tour..you guys look like a young couple on their honeymoon...thx again for the sights and traditions..the Alaska.. i will only see in videos and books....
Just beautiful! My trip was in 2011, late September. Wet and the trees was a bright yellow. I started in Skagway boarded the train to the top of the mountain. There I boarded a motor coach which was a tour into Whitehorse and all the views. I do remember stopping in TOK at a like conference center for a bag lunch and bathroom break. I know we stopped in Carcross, Denali for 2 nights. That’s where I fell. On to Fairbanks but due to my fall I missed the dredge 8; boat ride, dogs, and pipeline tour. It rained almost everyday or everyday. Boarded the Alaskan train to Anchorage then a long flight back to Tennessee. It is truly an amazing experience to see all of the beautiful mountains,trees,animals, glaciers, and wow just lovely.
Thanks for sharing. ❤
So Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for watching!
You're a very gifted narrator! Every episode is so very enjoyable! Still praying for the babies and my heart is so excited for you. I had my youngest at 38!
Good night Lauren and Mark and family and thank you for sharing your beautiful day 🌞 😊
We are planning an rv trip with great Alaskan holiday for 2025. Valdez is at the top of my list! Thanks for sharing!

Hi from sunny RSA 🇿🇦. Love these wholesome video's😄
Such a beautiful state. Thanks for taking us along and showing us all it has. Enjoy your vacation.
I sure hope there's is a part two. Would love to see everything, including the cabin your staying in.
My husband and I cruised with princess 25 yrs ago thru the inside passage and then took the open roof train to Denali at one of their lodges. Absolutely a fantastic vacation. I’ve always wanted to live in Alaska. We have lived in NH over 45 yrs.

Thank you so much! I agree, so gorgeous!!
I so love your channel. Getting to see Alaska. I hope to visit someday but until I do, thank you for sharing!
Thank you for giving a tour of beautiful part of Alaska
Hi Lauren and Mark 👋
Thanks for taking us along for the beautiful ride to Valdez. I haven't been there for 20 years, but the view is still gorgeous. I went to Fairbanks 3 years ago but went the other way. Hope to see more of your trip soon.
We took the ferry from Whittier to Valdez, stayed the night then drove to McCarthy. To us the drive was NOT worth it. I thought the road would be rough for a short distance, it was really bad for 60 miles. We could not drive over 20 mpg most the time. I told my husband I will never drive that road again. We then drove up to Fairbanks and visited my daughter, then back down the Parks to come home. Loved the trip except that drive to kennecott.
We will need to plan on flying in to avoid that road! It’s what has always stopped us from going
My God father lived in Valdez and worked on the pipeline. My graduation present was going to be 1 way ticket to Alaska but I was scared to fly. Biggest regret of my life.
I love Alaska and have visited 4 times so far. Have been to the Denali National Park - actually stayed there couple of nights at one of the Princess Lodges and the furthest I have been is to Fairbanks. I was in Valdez, Seward and Anchorage - all the cruise ports. Praise the Lord for cruises which go unto Alaska. I will continue to visit. Thank you so much for taking all of us along on your trip. You all are such a blessing!!!
Hello!" Thank you for taking us on your journey .Nice to see you out on your own.Have fun and enjoy yourselves.Untill your next video.😊
I love you guys,,,!! And I'm praying that you will feel better soon!!
Take care and I'll talk to you soon.
❤❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing your trip to Valdez❤
Thanks for sharing, it’s absolutely beautiful!
You are so welcome! Thank you so much for coming along.
I have really enjoyed this video. Knowing all about Alaska one day I would love to come it’s a bucket list. Adventure
Thank you for sharing those amazing views. Alaska is such a beautiful state. Take care. Albert and Maria🙏🙏
Beautiful drive.. thank you for taking us along..
That was a nice trip. Felt like I was sitting in the back seat. Really appreciate Mark’s knowledge of the glaciers and all of Alaska. You would really driving through the Adirondack mountains in NY near where we’re from and camped a lot. Those volcanoes ever erupted at all? Your windshield? Bugs do a number here in Florida. If I can get my health back in check and other things work out, an Alaskan trip we will make. We will do what you did Lauren, rent a small Class C motorhome. But we would prefer a more wooded area, not like a parking lot. As a tourist coming to explore on our own, is this time of year good? How do we pack as Floridians?😂 Till next time, enjoy. Larry and Lisa.
Wow amazing thankyou for sharing your beautiful country with us. The scenery is breathtaking. You both are so knowledgeable and it was like being on a tour.
I love you guys! I feel like we really are friends! crazy we are pregnant at the same time and due about the same time. God bless you and your family! we are having a little boy, our first
Congratulations Gabrielle!!! 🎊 💖💖🙏🏻
Congratulations! I am so excited for you. Hope you’re feeling good as you make your way into second trimester! Thank you so much for watching!
So exciting, congratulations 😊
@@ThisAlaskaLife Thank you :)
Beautiful drive. Thanks for sharing. How are you feeling.
Hello Loren ❤ Mark Thank you soo much for the beautiful video , My husband is a truck driver, and on this trip i went with him .He made delivery to the Costco Anchorage, and we drove to Valdez to pick the fish from solomon gulch hatcher .Alaska is beautiful 😍
I love your videos about the different sights in Alaska, My youngest son moved to Soldotna last Year, i havent been there to visit him yet .
I hope you can visit one day! Hope he is liking living here.
Just curious, but did anyone else have a problem with the volume on this vlog? Not trying to be negative in anyway, but I had my computer volume up full blast and still it was minimal? Just wondering if its my computer. Great vlog. Love these trips and all your exploring.
Sounds like it was bad for some people. It was fine when I listened back. Weird! Sometimes when we are in the car the background noise can be bad but it seems like it depends on what people are listening on. I did it on my phone and it was fine???
Yes, it's hard to hear in the car. The suggestion is to use ear bids or headphones. 👍
Enjoyed hanging out with y’all, scenery is just breathtaking and beautiful❤😊🙏🏻
Ms Ruby
Yes I enjoyed the joy ride and can’t wait for your next video and I hope y’all have fun 😊😊❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊 for the tour!! My mouth was open throughout this video. I was in complete awe at how beautiful everything is up there. Just gorgeous ❤️ Thank you so much for not only showing but letting me know exactly what I am looking at. I can’t wait for the next video!! I hope you’re doing well and that morning sickness is not too bad. I’m hoping for at least one little girl but 2 would be amazing!! But in the end healthy babies and momma are all that truly matter. Ever child is a blessing!!
The views are so amazing and beautiful!!!!
I am so excited to see this! Blessings to you both - thanks for sharing! 🙏
Our pleasure! Thank you so much for watching

Thanks for sharing your life with us your viewers . I've only started watching you about a month ago and I'm hooked even watched episodes over again glad to see new ones hope you keep doing it.
When I stoped at Tok back in2017, we went to fast Eddie’s
Wow, that was beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for taking us along in that trip. Beautiful video. Greetings from Costa Rica.
Our pleasure!
Hi Loren and mark its great seeing places that I would love to see. It's good seeing you both spending time together before the baby's come.
My best friend and I took a six month RV trip from Texas, through British Columbia, and spent a month in Alaska. We came through Tok up to Fairbanks, down to Denali, then to Anchorage. From there we went to Glen Allen and down to Valdez. We then left back to Yukon through Tok and then to Haines. We took the ferry to Washington State. Our time in Alaska was so wonderful. I'm 73 years old (was 65 when we made the trip) and would love to do an interior tour some day. Glad you had fun!!
Beautiful drive.
Thank you so much for coming along.
Love your family adventures. Everyday or vacations❤
