Backpacking in the Backcountry of Juneau, Alaska

I knew Alaska would be epic, but holy moly; this place was truly incredible.
Helicopter drop off on a remote, spectacular ridge? Yes, this video's got it.
Hiking on the Mendenhall Glacier? You betcha, that's here, too.
Throw in some bears, eagles, whales, and the Northern Lights and you've got yourself one heck of a hiking trip!

Lived in Douglas for the first twelve years of my life, thanks for the nostalgia.

[@OutsideWatch]

Absolutely Stunning! Alaska looks like a dream location!

[@BackpackingTV]

@Outside TV you bet it is! Already can't wait to go back

[@hikingff77]

Amazing campsite for sure. Cannot believe how much you sound like a younger Chevy Chase. Great content. Thank you.

[@tamie341]

Omg I thought you wrote Look instead of Sound lol was looking at this guy from every angle trying to see it 😂😂😂

[@rick5440]

I live in Juneau, it's a hikers and boaters paradise.

[@BackpackingTV]

Lucky! I love it there.

[@homesteadhiker]

Great video, miss that area. Need to get back there soon.

[@ophidicism]

Ahhh, the memories. I lived on Douglas Island for 6 years. Every once in a while I think of going back.

[@Sharpe1502]

Juneau is the only place I’ve lived where people will close businesses down if it’s sunny because people want to enjoy the sun.
By the way, that feeling of being lucky to be in such a beautiful place literally never goes away, even if you live here. Juneau is an insanely beautiful part of the world.

[@ryanbegley7098]

Spent a summer here as a raft guide. Most incredible place I’ve ever been. Thanks for making me reminisce!

[@BackpackingTV]

That must be incredible to raft there. And you're welcome!

[@northerngiant2915]

An “adventure” in southeast Alaska without rain feels downright deceptive.

[@BackpackingTV]

😂 we got VERY lucky with the weather!

[@jazziePhae123]

True. Last year was one of the hottest summers we had ever. This year it’s completely opposite.

[@paddle_hike]

WOW! amazing clear images. Love it. Thanks for sharing with us !! I hope i'll see this region one day :)

[@JonJonMorales]

Amazing commentary!

[@AlpenventuresUNGUIDED]

Best outdoor quote ever..."I want a moderate amount of sketchy."

Respect from Arizona

[@stoutoutandaboutwithanorwe300]

So beautiful!! Very nice video!!

[@joeseago6837]

Very beautiful!

[@GlacierPilotGst]

Wow, how have I missed this video before? Hopefully you checked the tide book before setting up on the beach. Tides right now it would be underwater.
Did you get to check out any of the old mine sites up on Mt. Roberts?

[@edwardmiller6353]

Great video!!

[@stan9636]

The planet is just amazing, it’s a shame we are all destroying it

[@cooganalaska3249]

A third person on the glacier did the filming, right?

[@BackpackingTV]

Yup!

[@CARLOSBat248]

Great adventure man👍

[@shubhamgadekar5]
