    The other day I was having what I think was an anxiety attack, not sure, for the first time.
    I turned on one of your vids because I knew no matter which one I picked it would be soothing and positive, and it helped me stay calm. Didn't even have to watch, just put it on in the background while doing breathing exercises.
    Love you folks, thank you.

    I was on the hiker bus and we came across a few hikers on the road. Even though they didn't flag us down, the bus driver stopped and and insisted they board the bus. Why? Not more than 50 yards away, was a momma brown bear and her two cubs, and the hikers had no clue they were there because their line of sight was obstructed by the terrain.

    @jameswaldecker1236 2 роки тому +4

    Thank you for another episode helping me relive my past trip! I loved how you merged all the scenery with music that sounds like early '90s alternative. It fits very well, and I couldn't imagine it done better. I was on the fence about hiking out to the landslide, but I did, and this video affirms that decision! It was cool when I saw the bus pull away and I thought, 'I'm out in the Denali wilderness on my own!' However, by July 8, there were no caribou and in fact, the bus drivers were talking about how the wildlife sightings had grown sparse. The forest fires near Fairbanks were ongoing, and (like you hinted at) no fires were allowed in the park. A shuttle driver I had between Kennecott and McCarthy (I know... different park... but they all talk to each other, right?) mentioned that there were some plans to build a bridge around the landslide by the summer of 2024, but I'm still scratching my head about that.

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks, James! Denali was so amazing. We didn't see a ton of wildlife either. Thankfully the park wasn't affected by the wildfire smoke when we were there! I sure hope they build that bridge. Our bus driver said it didn't seem like they were going to be making any moves on it anytime soon.

    I hadn’t heard about the back half of the park being closed due to the landslide. In 2010 three of us did a 2 week self supported bicycle trip in Alaska. We rode Denali park back to Wonder Lake and camped there for a couple of days. Our first morning at Wonder Lake we were treated to the whole Denali range coming out of the clouds. The camp hostess told us it was only the second time that Summer that had happened. We felt so lucky! The scenery is something that you just can’t describe with justice. The pictures I took are great but still can’t capture the incredible beauty of the park. We saw Grizzlies 3 times from a distance and we even watched the indigenous wolf pack through binoculars down on one of the river beds. Of all my bike trips Denali is my favorite! Your video brought back a lot of memories. Thanks!

We spent three nights in Denali towards the end of July. I loved all of our four days there with different weather conditions every day. It’s so cool to see Dall Sheep in your video. We were only able to see white dots moving fast on top of mountain. If they didn’t move, we probably would not know those were sheep. Thank you so much for the information on your first Denali video! We hiked the two Savage River trails that you showed us in your first video. 😄

I enjoyed hikes at Savage River, the 2 mile loop trail out to a footbridge that crossed the river…which was more like a creek at that point. Also hiked the Savage River Alpine trail which was fabulous. Ive been in Soldotna since June 1 and will be back at Denali for another 5 night stay before beginning the drive back to Seattle.

Interesting facts to know about this huge park - we were amazed to see the bus service and fast food restaurants within the park. There are no such things in the parks of Ontario, Quebec, and farther east. We are not sure about the parks to our west though. We like your videos because they are informative, fun oriented just the right duration of time. Thank you for putting so much of hard work into video making.

    Yay A+K+K! Another great vid! I’m with you Kathryn on the walking on the tundra advice! Seems counterintuitive. Kona is so cute. I love her morning sleepy look. Maybe she needs some coffee too 😉

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  2 роки тому +1

      It’s so confusing to the brain to hike on it! We triple checked with a ranger to make sure we didn’t misread haha. Kona definitely would be extra crazy with caffeine!

    I am loving seeing Alaska through your videos. Makes me want to visit even more and do some of these hikes myself. Though, our truck may be able to make the journey from Ontario, I don't know about our little travel trailer on some of those roads!

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  2 роки тому +1

      The roads have been in very good condition in our opinion (other than the road right before and after crossing into Alaska). We hope y'all can make it up here! Thanks for watching!

    We were there last year. One week after the landslide. Enjoyed the pictures of the Doll Sheep. We saw 5 but they were on the top of a ridge from a distance. Thanks for the close ups. I enjoyed them ☺️.

    I remember this route from summer 1971, when I and 3 college friends went off trail wilderness hiking further into Denali for two weeks as part of a 3-month Alaskan adventure. Nothing was in organized in those days - certainly there was no bus service and we encountered no other hikers, but we did see lots of bears in the distance. The first small ranger station at the park entrance seems familiar.

    Absolutely amazing. I hope to visit Alaska some day but until then I'm enjoying your videos. One of my sons and his girlfriend worked a summer season at Kantishna Roadhouse and loved it. I believe it is at the end of the park road and I read their guests this year are arriving via helicopter because of the landslide. Looking forward to more of your adventures.

The green bus was a nice bonus on this trip. Stay safe! Lots of love from Oxfordshire UK 🇬🇧 although I’m from Texas. 😂. 🥰

    Thanks for sharing your experience in denali. We were there in July this year also stayed at teklanikia camp and did similar things to you. We went off trail around the landslide area and climbed up a random mountain it was cool also did some packrafting on the tek River was awesome. It is hard to capture such an amazing place but you did a great job.

    • @AdventuresofAplusK

    Amazing. I was just there in September. I wanted to stay at Teklanika campground but it was booked. Looks great. Did some off trail backpacking right there at the East Fork of the Toklat instead. Can’t wait to go back. Great video!

    Time to copyright that "Bear Scare" song Katherine! What a cool place. That off trail adventure did look super fun. Just that strip of mountains in every direction looked so cool. I need to get into the mountains more and this is definitely inspiring me. And all your meals look so delicious as well! Nice work there. :)

    • @AdventuresofAplusK

    Loved the banter with the park rangers when you went back for the 2nd time and you were acing their quiz 🤣 Absolutely loved your shots of the wildlife throughout this video. Really chuffed for you guys that you did the off trail hike - and didn't get lost and enjoyed it! The idea is scary to me too. We did one in Iceland a few years ago, but didn't stray too far from where we parked our rental car and then got caught out in an epic hail and snow storm (at the start of May!) so our 1 and only experience hasn't helped matters! The sheep up there look nothing like the sheep in the UK - I'd have guessed they were goats had you not said what they were.

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  2 роки тому

      That park ranger was so nice and funny!
      The off trail hike was very fun! The part through the brush was a slog, but it was over quick enough! Once you get above that and start to have sweeping views it was golden from there! And then the sheep were the cherry on top!

  • @bobculhane4746
    @bobculhane4746 2 роки тому

    That brush you hiked 🚶‍♀️ 🚶‍♂️ through to get to that mountain ridge was scary 😨 I was singing the don't bother me bear song right along with Katherine...🤣🤣 The herd of 22 mountain 🐑 🐏 🐑 sheep were your reward 😉

    Great Denali video. Quick tip because I heard someone say you could only take a cold shower. I live in Hawaii where there is only cold water showers at camp sites. Brrr for me. I assume you can boil water. I use a NEMO Helio shower. Boil about a gallon of water. Put a gallon of cold in the NEMO, then add hot water - adjust by adding cold or hot water to desired temp. Not luxurious but functional and better than enduring an Alaska shower. Hey, your puppy’s name is Kona! Aloha!
