Twin Hills, AK

Twin Hills is a small, tight-knit Yup'ik village in southwest Alaska, located near Togiak Bay where the river meets the tundra. The community began in the 1960s when families moved to higher ground to avoid floodwaters, and today it centers around a local school, commercial fishing, and a strong subsistence lifestyle. Because there are no roads in, getting here requires a short bush flight from Dillingham or a boat ride across the water from nearby Togiak. Life moves at a quiet pace, shaped by the seasons and a deep connection to the land.
