I have found a great way to find berries Alaska! All thanks to Alaskan veteran berry pickers. Use satilite maps! Look for the marshes, blogs and permafrost areas.
Yes these are all my photos
This is the place we went, a permafrost marsh.
We found;
The fanciful unicorn of berries.
Tastes like a sweet cranberry. These are our very first ones, ever! Seriously! It was super exciting to find!
Lived here in Alaska for a long time and have never seen one or tasted one, of corse as soon as I found out it was okay we each had one. I was told it’s “Arctic Gold”.
Have no taste, but are a great filler.
Salmon berries
Blueberries and salmonbarries with my basket, I just love my basket!
My boys helping pick, though one was more interested in putting them in their mouth then the bag
My girl picking blueberries/bog berries
Hint: there are more then 10
We walked deeper into the marsh and I started to smell rot. Then found this dude.
The kids and I started to get thirsty so we headed back towards the spring.
It’s located off the side of the highway, it’s free so we didn’t have to drive 20 mins to get a drink from a gas station.
This water tastes amazing! Lots of locals depend on this water supply. We did for a year 😊
Well that was just one trip, to one spot. We already have other spots planed 💗
Here is my proof of berries. By the way the salmon berries are very juicy. LOL
