Say hello to your guides,
Bing and Elle.
In the heart of Alaska, where the mountains tower and the rivers run wild, there exists a couple whose synergy is nothing short of remarkable. This husband and wife duo, Elle and Bing, embody the essence of soulmates, excelling in all endeavors they undertake together. Whether it's tackling a complex project or knocking out a community initiative, their teamwork transforms challenges into triumphs.
Their conversations are equally captivating. With a blend of humor and insight, they effortlessly weave educational stories that entertain and enlighten those around them. Elle, a natural storyteller, brings to life the quirks of their adventures — like the time they both hiked the Resurrection Trail in South Central Alaska; an 84 mile unforgettable hike. Bing, with his quick wit, interjects with clever observations that keep everyone engaged, making learning feel both enjoyable and profound.
Both share an affinity for the great outdoors. Their time off is often spent hiking through lush forests soaking in the beauty of nature. They are passionate about sharing these experiences with others, and will often share stories around the breakfast table while serving guests at the B&B they operate. It’s not just about the physical activity; it’s about forging connections with people in the serene embrace of Alaska's wilderness. They believe that nature teaches invaluable lessons, and they take every opportunity to impart that wisdom while enjoying lighthearted banter around a crackling fire.
Together, Elle and Bing exemplify the beauty of partnership, creating a life filled with laughter, learning, and a profound appreciation for the natural world. Their union is a reminder that together, we can achieve more, experience more, and create lasting memories that resonate with everyone fortunate enough to be part of their journey.

Elisabeth's philosophy as a fishing guide transcends basic instruction. Her goal is to instill a profound appreciation for nature in her clients, emphasizing that fishing is more than just a sport; it is an opportunity to connect with the environment. Each trip begins with a thorough discussion about the local ecosystem, the species being pursued, and the importance of conservation.
Through her guidance, she teaches not just the mechanics of casting and reeling but also the patience and mindfulness required in the great outdoors. She shares timeless stories from her childhood, where each fishing excursion was not just about the catch but part of a larger narrative that connects us all—learning to respect the natural world as well as our part in its story.
