[@ArtWeThereYet]

🎉What is your FAVORITE stop on this road trip?

[@burninoutloud]

The Keystone Canyon was added to my list for the next visit, wow!

[@alfredodejuan390]

Only one? That would be really a hard task.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

@@alfredodejuan390 Agreed!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

@@burninoutloud Yep, it was pretty mind-blowing for us!

[@yyyorange]

hmm...IDK... I would just rather stay home🙂come on! it is soooo far bru/bro!!! ok?

[@calledtojourney]

Wow, you guys had to fly your drone a LONG way to get that close to Matanuska Glacier! You're braver than we are. Excellent footage!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thank you! Yeah, Matanuska is just incredible. Hoping we can make our way there for a tour!

[@BJ_PLATZ]

Another mesmerizing video! I deeply appreciate your professional production interwoven with history and geology.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thank you so much for watching 😊

[@georgemartin5481]

[@edwardmiller6353]

Ha, you are leaving us hanging here waiting for the next video! Good decision, tho'. What an awesome video here! We appreciate your details like names of roads, canyons, mountains. etc. This makes your channel very special. And the picture quality is superb! Hatcher Pass is my favorite on this video. Thank you!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Who doesn't like a little suspense in life, right? ☺ So happy you are enjoying the episodes! We think you'll love the next one! Valdez pulls out all the stops!

[@tacrewgirl]

I love how you bring history and geology into every video. Even as a local I learn something new.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

That is a HUGE compliment! Thank you!

[@karan_IV]

Absolutely beautiful 😍😍😍😍 Looking forward to explore some of Canada this year and hopefully I'll make it to the STATES in the upcoming years 🤞🏻

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Hurray! We hope you love it!

[@robertospinetti8649]

The circle in the claud is very perfect circle,is amazing, i don t have see this.... Whaoo. Beautiful adventures, hi from italy

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Yes, we were so fascinated by that cloud when we saw it in the footage! Bizarre, right?

[@MarkSmith-xi8ii]

WOW...your glacier footage is just plain AWESOME ! THANKS

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thank you so much!!!

[@tomas5376]

That's a very rugged area! It's amazing how much water there is!!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

That's what we thought! The high reaches of those mountains is known as "the snowiest place in Alaska" getting TONS of snow every winter. That must be part of it!

[@stihlsawrepairs7955]

Outstanding narration and script. Really great!

[@karthikks]

My wife and I visited Alaska in 2023, and the best drive for us was from Delta Junction to Glenallen to Palmer. We can never forget the views we were presented with :)

[@ArtWeThereYet]

We understand this completely! When we first arrived in Alaska, we drove from Tok to Anchorage, and that drive blew us away. We knew right then and there it was going to be difficult to leave Alaska.

[@BarbaraDorshorst]

Great ending View. Thanks.

[@hed_gilboa]

Fantastic - one of your best episodes!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Wow, thanks!

[@clodoaldodonato3029]

Obrigado.!!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

You are most welcome! 😊

[@OutdoorSugar]

Excellent video. Does the Worthington parking lot allow overnight camping?

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Actually….no. I actually thought about that when writing the script, that using the footage of us driving away when saying that would give the idea that they allow overnight parking. We didn’t have footage of driving away from Thompson Pass (where we actually slept), so we used the Worthington glacier shot instead. Doh! I shoulda written it into the script…your question is making me realize I really should have done that. Dern. Well, the good thing is we can tell you where you can park overnight, right nearby! You can park at a parking lot RIGHT at the top of Thompson Pass (you’ll see that spot coming up two episodes from now). The views are epic there. Lots of truck campers and vans parked there for the night. It’s just five minutes up the road from Worthington Glacier headed towards Valdez.

[@cindywiech2675]

What month did you make this trip? So beautiful but must be tough in the Winter.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

This was late August 2023.

[@amyecross]

When are you leaving Alaska and heading South?

[@ArtWeThereYet]

We’ll be heading south from Seward in mid April, but we’ll be exploring the south part of Alaska until early July when we are planning to be entering the Yukon.

[@alfredodejuan390]

It's a dream for an environmentalist. It has biology diversity, geology and human settlement on a hard place. It's your fault if I increased my lotto budget 😂😂😉

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Alaska is pretty magical for sure!

[@yyyorange]

😬so far! 3 day road trip?!!?

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Yep! The drive can be done in about 5.5 hours if you drive it straight, but we did it in 3 days. That way we got to spend time at some of the beautiful places we show in the video: Matanuska Glacier, the Copper River Valley, Worthington Glacier, and Keystone Canyon.

[@buddymccormack8668]

A very irrelevant comment, there is a product called "sno seal" for those leather boots you were wearing, it's made with bee's wax, works better than anything else I've tried.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

That’s great to know! Thanks for the tip and thank you for watching 🙂
