Denali Highway & Denali National Park| Go North Ep.10

Denali Highway & Denali National Park| Go North Ep.10
Our first big adventure in Alaska took us down the old Denali Highway to Denali National Park. This road runs through some amazing Alaska wilderness and was the original road used to access Denali National Park. The Denali Highway offers stunning views and access to all kinds of outdoor Alaska recreation. At the end of the highway a short drive took us to the entrance of Denali National Park where we checked in to Teklanika campground for a wonderful 5 days of exploring this pristine wilderness. Denali blew us away by its remote beauty. You cannot drive in this park unless you are going to your campground, and this keeps traffic minimal. Hiking is encouraged, however there are very few trails so it is all backcountry. This was intimidating at first but after a few days we found ourselves falling in love with this type of hiking, finding a freeing sensation in going wherever you want. One day we did get to see Denali the mountain (formerly Mount McKinley) which is the tallest peak in North America. This mountain dwarfed all other mountains around it that were of "normal" size. We fell in love with this remote wild landscape and truly believe that the borders that protect these lands are important to keep this place wild for generations to come to enjoy.

No words to describe how great this video is

[@MortonsontheMove]

Thank you that means alot :)

[@paulgostkowski3960]

Exceptionally well done video. I've been to Denali and you somehow managed to capture its heart, soul, and essence.

[@MortonsontheMove]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@omegavisualbranding]

Again another piece of art-media that astonish me. The way how it is presented is awesome narrated.

[@lynngatlin4469]

This is without any doubt the best video I have ever seen of Denali. Thanks well done.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

Really makes you want to go!

[@wesbrown3979]

This is a great intro to Denali for new visitors.

[@Jim.Hummel]

BEYOND EPIC! I actually got emotional at the supreme beauty, and can barely comprehend the vastness, of the park. Your best video so far...and that's saying something because they have all been spectacular and have touched my soul.

[@MortonsontheMove]

:) thank you!

[@auroranite]

Denali is that special place we all need to be right now. Out of the craziness.

[@jpallen719]

I was just going to say pretty much the same thing.... one of the best videos ever, I could watch these kids forever.

[@andyfreer1343]

Wow that scenery is unbelievable looks like a painting

[@bobneedham6224]

Excellent video. I worked there for 6 years and you really capture the feeling and beauty of the Park.

[@joyeyoder4783]

Another awe-inspiring episode in the Go North saga. I am really enjoying this series!!

[@captainskippy6622]

Great video and amazing photography. Wife and I were there last September. It was overcast and drizzling rain but at one point the clouds/fog around the mountain broke for a few minutes. We stopped and stood there in awe. It brought tears to my eyes.

[@DA-yk7wf]

Wow. What incredible views of The Majestic & Mighty Mt Denali AKA Mt.Mckinley standing very tall above everything else at around 20320 feet from its base till the top of the summit. Very nice wild life too. Very well covered & presented vdo. Thanks👍❤

[@gzmama1]

So happy to come across your channel! My husband and I met in AK, and travelled down the Alcan in an old VW bus 24 years ago. Camping in Denali was unforgettable and created many special memories for us. Thank you for sharing!

[@MortonsontheMove]

So glad you enjoyed it! Denali is amazing :)

[@billg1527]

Love your U.P. necklace, Good for you showing the hometown pride !! Awesome video series, you two do great great work.

[@janicewood5561]

Perfect choice of music to accompany this video.

[@julieh3327]

I’ve been cutting my husbands hair for 45 years this coming September! And yes, he’s had some haircuts in some pretty cool places, too. Love the scenery that you are sharing. Exquisite photography as always! Thanks for sharing.

[@josecuevas2954]

You guys are the best,always waiting for a new video to come out. Be safe out there!

[@suzyq3746]

Your Go North series is so very special. Very emotional for me as I get the grandness of what you are seeing and showing us. Thanks to the 4 Morton's. With the last few days being so heartbreaking, sitting down at 6 am with the sun rising over the lake from my beautiful spot and watching your video as set my day off to a great start. :)

[@donnaseymour22]

I throughly enjoy all of your videos and watch for them. Thank you.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Wow what an amazing place to visit!

[@TheTracystella]

I am living vicariously through you guys and loving every episode! Your videos are fun, informative and I love the music you play in the background. I am really digging the song by Emorie...Wild. Please keep doing what you are doing and continue to share. I will be sharing this (your channel) with family and friends. I am truly inspired by your channel and I am looking forward to more adventures (where to after taking the plunge in the Artic?) Stay true.

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

What a fascinating place! To see the bears et al not being endangered by some tourist who gets out of their car/feeding them is phenomenal. Denali Mtn. Is amazing! Thank you for bringing me (&others) there.

[@wilderrick2042]

Me and my little boy love your channel, and absolutely love your adventures that you share with us. Wishing you safe travels, the Derrick's (Indiana) 😊

[@WedartStudio]

Very beautiful country, nice commentary, great video!😊🌐🌐😊

[@marianjacobs5597]

That was amazing you can really imagine how the earth must have looked before man came along and started to ruan this planet, thank goodness for people who do so much to save what we now have left. Thank you both for this great post.

[@TheMarcopix]

Rented an RV a couple of years ago and drove into Denali. Got to see the mtn on the first day and spent several days riding the bus and hiking different areas. Definitely will go back. What a magical place....

[@TheHungryCubanAdventures]

Beautiful Beautiful scenery. Thanks for sharing this. We look forward to your videos every week. We are also contemplating going to a smaller RV because of your videos, just the opportunity to get to places like this. 👏👏👏

[@jenmcmartin8231]

Amazing video, hands down one of the best on Denali Ntl Park. Videography, narration, and music...superb!! Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@frozenbits48]

i know that highway well, been on it about a hundred times. that was my favorite moose and caribou hunting area. did you stop at the MacLaren River Lodge and say howdy to Alan and Suzy? at 4:o7/8 you showed John Shandlemeier's edifice he built on a hilltop. great guy, saved my life on the MacLaren river, twice. thank you for showing my most favorite spot in the world. My brother died on that river. when it comes my time, guess i will go up in that area and lie down and wait my next adventure! thanks again, retired ol ron, 50year Alaskan resident.

[@jameshodgins1937]

I was at Denali National Park in 1987 and never got to see it. I will be going to Denali in the next few years and plan on staying long enough to see it. I really like your videos! Thanks.

[@antonioaa8097]

One of the my favorite videos. Keep up the good work...

[@jamiefernandez6980]

I'm so glad I found this page

[@montewall706]

Beautiful video. In June, we traveled along the gold rush route which included a few of the towns and roads you've highlighted. Love to see this again from your off the grid perspective.

[@golfnut2599]

fantastic video you did a great job of capturing denali, we were there in June and it was beautiful to relive our experience, everyone should try to make a trip to Alaska and especially denali

[@lawrenceedger292]

My wife and I visited Denali National Park in Sep 2018. What a truly awesome place to see! We got lucky and were one of the “30 percent” who got to see the entire mountain. Thanks for your terrific video. It brought back some great memories of that very special visit.

[@terrylarkin690]

Just another great presentation thank you. All of this will help me on my trek .

[@MortonsontheMove]

Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@OfficerLarryNMSE]

I’m feeling blessed to be able to follow along on this most epic adventure yet! Thank you both and Thank you to all who support this grand adventure.

[@MortonsontheMove]

Thank you Latada!

[@ToddGrivetti]

Hey guys. Just came across your channel and love this episode. We are heading there in 2 weeks and get to drive the entire road for a day. We were there last August and took the bus up to Elision visitor center, so this year were heading all the way to the end. We too were lucky as well getting to see Denali on our last day. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your adventure.

[@geoffancliff8347]

Just watched all ten episodes over the last few days. Great videos. Cannot wait for the next one. You guys are so lucky to do what you do.

[@carmas54]

You guys are doing such a great job, better than anything I have seen previously from other youtubers ....congratulations

[@jackvisser]

A Wonderful Video and you Both are Fantastic People

[@jackmcgonegal8728]

Beautiful episode. I've flown over Denali many times but never seen the ground eye view you showed. Great job. Looking forward to seeing you at Lazy Days Tampa in January.

[@zhaoxp134]

OMG I think we were there the same day! My picture of Denali is exactly the same as yours at 12:38! The clouds, lighting, angle, same. We were probably on the same bus!

[@zhaoxp134]

We saw that bear on the road too!

[@MortonsontheMove]

No way! That's awesome!

[@Z71Silverad0]

We rode all the way into the Park , 91 Miles. We were there on July 12, 2019, there is nothing quite like it. We loved it...We are also in the 30 percent club..I have some beautiful pictures of the Peak of Denali.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

So cool! We want to go so bad, possibly next summer!

[@rickandal617]

Simply stunning. National Parks should be protected in perpetuity for all to enjoy. Well said and well done.

[@dougdorn9226]

You guys are so lucky! Great job and thanks for sharing! Love it!

[@tsav6952]

Beautiful scenery. Another well done production.

[@SohelRana-sy1sg]

Epic beauty on earth

[@rudidundas7081]

Exceptional video! The best yet of the series! The beautiful nature shots at the end, with the adroit editing, were just superb. You make us want to travel there as soon as possible! Thank you!

[@rongrimes9781]

Out standing, take care.

[@brucebugbee6604]

Awesome videos! Found your Go North series recently and have been binge watching. I've been to Alaska once (in 2012) and want to go back someday.

[@MortonsontheMove]

Thank you! Glad you've been enjoying Go North!

[@grumpyshorts1056]

I've been binge watching this trip and I have to say you guys have narrated it beautifully so far. Seeing and living this/your adventure to The North is quite inspiring, breathtaking and leaves us yearning to make this trip ourselves. Shame that man... opps, people can't see the forest for the trees and learn that we are killing this great earth we get to live on for such a short time. The world could learn from the native Americans and how to live with nature instead of destroying it. To not overpopulate and over ravage its natural resources, to live in harmony with nature. Opps got off on a tangent :-), So thank you for making this adventure ours and that in one day we may be able to take this journey on our own, through lessons learned... note to self buy chicken wire. :-) Looking forward to the finale from Denali!

[@jeromehansen3969]

Great video. Unbelievable scenery. Thanks

[@karenpolansky9097]

Beautiful video! I did one of the few trails there; the Alpine Trail. Call me a chicken 😁. I also loved Teklaneeka campground. Overall a great experience and I’m glad to see yours.

[@Happycamper1998]

Enjoying your journey. Thank you for sharing.

[@sherylbennett3953]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing 🐻

[@mbucklesnak]

I've been an alaskan since i first stepped into this state back in 1997. This is one of many reason i love this state. I live in North Pole and if you all need anything please let me know.

[@thetraveler5798]

If all goes well it will be my Home 💚😊💚

[@sherrystacks4815]

I just watched this video and it is breathtaking. It is as good or better than anything I have seen on discovery channel etc. How just the two of you in a “camper” have created such wonderful videos deserves congratulations you are wonderful look foreword to your next video Thank you

[@thetraveler5798]

Simply Awesome 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌹💚🌹

[@ignots213]

Wow! Just Wow! Awesome video.

[@Gr8LakesCamper]

Yet another stunning video and really enjoying this trip. (Waiting on the footage of Tom cutting Cait's hair.)

[@MortonsontheMove]

Lol thanks Rick!

[@nickmurphy5633]

I just spent two weeks around the Denali area definitely recommend the bus tour out it on your to do list!

[@TravelSmallLiveBig]

Excellent info and filming! That was just fun to watch all around.

[@ucanskixc568]

Great video. Awesome pictures as well.

[@mommat1306]

This is a very high quality production. You two are amazing-and you should be super proud of yourslves. So impressed. AND holy wow! I can't wait to go to Alaska someday. We've just got our 5th wheel, and I think you were so smart to take a camper. We may buy a beater camper to throw on our truck for that trip. (Would love a new Lance, but probably can't really do that!) It looks great though.

[@AdventureEndeavor]

They do ana amazing job! Definitely set the bar high for other youtubers. We really want to go to AK as well!

[@johnhirsekorn2810]

What a video! You guys are really becoming world class videographers, I felt like I was there. Very interesting and thoughtful as always. Thanks
