... oh yeah, #3) Lastly, I usually don't like the accompaning music on most videos, but I must say, I actually enjoyed the music plot too!!

Thank you Karen for the compliments, much appreciated and I am so glad you enjoyed the video. This was such a great adventure and it was my pleasure to share it with you and the viewers. Thanks again!

Yes, he was one special guy and very proud of him for his Presidency and getting us through some tough times back in the days.

Actually, I would recommend that you fly in to Kotzebue and taking the charter flight in or the other alternative that it is a lot cheaper is to fly with Wright Air from Fairbanks to Anaktuvuk Pass and land in the small village.

@ ty I did not know about Kotzebue I’ll look into that. Do you think backpacking for a few days can be done alone or do you recommend bringing a partner along?

@@gakkaoutdoors most definitely you should bring someone with you to hike, wolves and grizzly bears make this park their home and it is not advisable to hike alone in this vast wilderness. Be safe and enjoy this beautiful park.

@@adventureswithwesandjeff thank you and best wishes!

@GregFisher-wk1qs good point, the visitation numbers do fluctuate each year, but on average, the Park gets about 1.5 to 2 million visitors per year. In 2022, the visitation of National Parks peaked due to Covid ending, and people wanted to out with nature.

That was just one inaccuracy I heard wasn’t trying to make a big deal out of a few mistakes. The Park attendance so far this year is trending to exceed 2.6 million this year, so although Covid brought attention to the outdoors and parks it does seem to be a temporary blip. Regardless I just appreciate you visiting and producing the video to let others know about the United States first protected land.

I had really nice weather for my visit. I got a little scared because there was a wildfire just east of the Canyon and the smoke was lingering in towards the end of the day, but it all worked out and made for a orange glow sunset.

Thank you, that is so nice of you to say.... I really enjoy and appreciate nature and each and every time that I visit one of these parks it is truly a great adventure and reenergizes me from the stresses of everyday life.

Thank you so much 👍

Absolutely! Being one of the most remote and hard to get to National Parks also means almost complete solitude from crowds and a very peaceful enjoyable place to visit on a raft or just backcountry camp for a couple of days. Loved my brief visit to this amazing place on our planet.

Glad you enjoyed it

Awesome, thank you! Please let me know if that dispersed camping spot is still available. I sure hope it is, it is a primo spot!

No, none of us took any motion sickness pills, but we knew before hand that we weren't prone to getting sick with the movement of the boat on the water. Only one little kid on our boat got sick everyone else was fine. I would recommend that just as a precaution and to make your trip more enjoyable you should take motion sickness Dramamine or something similar prior to your trip if you think you might get sick.

Yes, should be enough room for tents and a great view as well.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Oops...you are right! Thanks for the correction, I will see if I can fix it.

Yes, just a day trip to Anaktuvuk Pass. Flight leaves early morning from Fairbanks and the return flight is in the afternoon. There are no hotels or motels in Anaktuvuk Pass, so the only way to stay in the area would be to get a room at one of the locals on Airbnb or camping out in the wilderness.

Glad you enjoyed it!

No, I have driven through on Interstate 80 across the Salt Flats near Salt Lake, but we didn't stop it was too hot and in the summertime.

Hey guys thank you for the wonderful comments and so glad you found my channel and thank you for the subscribing. Such a great conversion we had at the sign at Great Sand Dunes on that morning and I am so glad you guys were inspired by my words of encouragement to visit all the National Parks. That is such great news that you are on your 15th park visit and you are having fun getting outdoors and seeing these natural wonders in America. Now, I am currently on my 60th National Park and just last week they added a 64th National Park to the list, so the list is growing! The new National Park is located in Colorado on the southeastern border with the State of Kansas and it is called Camp Amache, it was a World War II Japanese Internment Camp. Keep up the visits and I hope our paths and adventures cross paths again someday.

A small milestone for sure!

Thanks for the encouragement Alaina, I really appreciate it and so glad you are watching and enjoying our travel adventures! Hopefully they have inspired you to see this vast and diversified country of ours!

Have fun! It really is a great adventure!

Wes is a Virgo, and Jeff is a Libra!

also do you think you could you swim there in the summer?

I always wondered too what was out there in those uninhabited islands. Being a native 7th generation Californian, Jeff was intrigued to explore the islands and see thus part of California. He really enjoyed helping me make the video and said it was our best presentation to date.The history, the unique wildlife, and the spectacular scenery make it a great adventure right in our own State.

@@LifeisaPhotoOp You could swim and snorkel around the islands, but the water temperature never gets over 64 degrees even in the summer months. So, it may be a little chilly, but doable. Most wear some sort of wet suit when diving and swimming in the waters near the Channel Islands.

Thank you Alaina, glad you enjoyed our adventure.

Thanks so much for the compliment.

Thanks Jen for the compliments and so excited about your adventures, please share them with me and enjoy!

Thank you for the compliment on the video. Such a great goal and at first it seems a little overwhelming to accomplish, but one by one you will create a wonderful memory for you and your husband. My husband and I made it our bucket list goal to experience this life adventure to visit all 63 National Parks and we are currently on #60 and just 3 more to go, American Samoa, Kobuk Valley and Lake Clark. We plan to visit American Samoa in early February and the other two remaining parks in Alaska in the summer of 2024. We loved the Virgin Island NP and had a great time in February of 2023 and I revisited the Grand Canyon a couple of months ago and visited the Channel Islands NP last fall. We loved all three of the those adventures as well. Thanks for the comments and please subscribe to our channel for future postings of my visits to the parks. I have so much footage in my hard drive that I must edit and post on UA-cam, so stay tuned and hopefully you can get some tips from my adventures to help you prepare for the remaining parks that you plan to visit. Let me know how your adventures are going. What is your next park that you are planning to visit?

@@adventureswithwesandjeff Sounds like you guys have been busy! Our next planned parks are Cuyahoga Valley, New River Gorge and Shenandoah in May. Then in Sep, we plan on doing Mammoth Cave, Great Smoky Mountains and Congaree. That'll finish up everything on the east side of the U.S. and all else will be out west after 2024. We are excited!

So glad you found my video and enjoyed this dispersed camping spot near Yosemite National Park. Don't tell anyone!

I am very lucky and I work for Alaska Airlines to get me up to Fairbanks, but I did have to pay for the Wright Air Service roundtrip from Fairbanks to Anaktuvuk Pass. I think the fare from Fairbanks is around $250.

So nice to meet you all up at the top of Beehive and our chat! I am working on that video now and it should be out in the next few days!

@@adventureswithwesandjeff likewise ! looking forward to it ✌🏽

I just posted the Acadia National Park video on here...hope you enjoy and have similar wonderful memories of that National Park.

@@adventureswithwesandjeff loved the video ❤️ thanks for sharing your perspective! Acadia was a dream ! Enjoy the rest of your journey!

Hi Wendy! Thanks for following us on UA-cam, now we need Dr. Freeman!

Our pleasure! So glad you enjoyed watching and learning about places just outside Yosemite Park that allows dispersed camping. Let me know if you had a similar experience at this place.

It was! So much fun and a really great time of year to visit this Park.
