We had a pretty great mix of rain & sun during our visit! So I tracked down the spot from another video, using maps & satellite imagery, and in the interest of not calling out specifics online, I'd encourage you to as well. Hunting down that stuff is half the fun!
I enjoyed your Alaska content. One spot I'm curious about is the scene at 5:35. That's pretty sweet. Do you recall what glacier that is? I'd figure out the rest. You showed it right after the Matanuska and before Anchorage, but from what I can tell, there aren't any other glacier views to speak of until the Knik. Assuming that wasn't out of chronological sequence, I haven't been able to piece together where this one is at--yet. At any rate, it seems as though that's a roadside view and couldn't be missed when driving by.
Oh man, I wish I could pinpoint that! I'm 90% sure it's chronologically correct, and I remember it was a decently long straight pulloff, on the left hand side heading towards Anchorage. Looking at the maps, I can't be sure yet, but I'll keep looking!
Ah ha! We have a match! I already had a waypoint set looking at the Nelchina from the highway, which is undoubtedly very close to where you took your shot. I was doing most of my scouting via Google Earth and I didn't think the highway offered that kind of elevated view. Had I simply done an image search for that or the other two adjacent ones, I would've answered my own question. Just hadn't got to that part yet I guess. The video sequence threw off the scent! The spaced out trees really add a lot to that composition. I appreciate you following up. Many thanks! I hope you didn't spend too much time digging that up for my benefit, but it's usually fun to go back and look at old trip stuff. Take care.
Boss, when your done with your trip, can you send me your itinerary? I want to do this with my 2 little daughters. I live in the South Bay Area of LA County.
Another awesome episode. That camp spot was incredible.
Thanks, Jason!
You guys are knocking it out of the park with these videos! We love it!
Much appreciated! It's sometimes hard to have perspective on your own stuff sometimes!
Absolutely gorgeous! Loved the epic camp spot. Visiting a glacier had to be a trip highlight!
Thank you! The whole helicopter ride was awesome! Since we had the camera gear he decided to make it fun for us 😄
So amazing! Looking forward to more!
Thank you!
😊 that beach was awesome😮 it is so nice to camp on a beach of rocks compared to a beach of mud or sand. Much easier.🎉
The rocks were great! Still not super thrilled about sand in a heavy truck with no low range 😄
Great episodes my friend I hope your channel takes off
Thanks so much!
Took that drive in July. What a trip. Dawson City and Chicken where my favorites. Doing it again next spring. Cant wait.
Awesome, can't wait til we can go back too! Dawson is great!
The rain has been real here in south- central AK. Would love that Kenai Lake turn-off mile marker.

Ok, I think I got it out of order, and that's the Nelchina

@darrenk6616 no worries, it was fun to look up. Google lens plus a photo I had taken from there sealed the deal 😄

Yeah I can send you some details. Can't recommend our exact itinerary with kiddos(too much seat time), but it should get you started planning!
