Create lasting memories with these holiday gift ideas

With this year’s holiday season in full swing, nothing says you care like a shared experience. Here are some gift ideas to really knock it out of the park this year:

• Educational and guided cheese-tasting classes at Fromagio’s Artisan Cheese in Anchorage.

• A dog mushing day tour with Paws for Adventure in Fairbanks.

• A Denali flightseeing tour with K2 Aviation in Talkeetna.

• Zip lining with Stoney Creek Canopy Adventure Tour in Seward.

• Fishing with Kodiak Fishing for Friends in Kodiak.

In need of a long-distance gift? Order Juneau Food Tours‘ 12 Alaskan Days of Christmas directly to someone’s front door.
