Oh trust us, some people DO care, as evidenced by how rude they were to us on our last video. 😬 And we personally do care to get pronunciations correct, especially for native Alaskan words. But we have heard it pronounced both ways 😊

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.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Wow!!! That’s crazy! Glad the bus driver was looking out for them. Jealous y’all saw bears!

[@jameswaldecker1236]

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]

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!

It’s so nice to see Savage River station in your video again (I watched your first video right after you posted it) after coming back from our Alaska trip. 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’m glad I found your channel. I was at Tek #16 May 20-May 29 with heavy snow pack. Only 1 loop was open, plowed, though still very messy with nightly freeze of the days melt. 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.

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!

We are thankful it was coming in and out so quickly that we never were fully socked in!

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]

Haha that’s a jingle huh?! 😂 there were mountains as far as you could see. Denali was a special place! Thanks, Nate!

[@suemeyer7551]

If you are coming back thru Alberta there is some stunning free camping at Abraham Lake, not far off the Icefields Parkway. Also some great camping & hikes in Kananaskis. One of my faves is interlakes Campground which is fcfs & is technically in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park. Cheers!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We had planned on going that way, but got sick recently and had to change our plans unfortunately. We’ve been to Banff before and loved it! Can’t wait to go back and see Jasper and your recommendations! Thanks!

[@suemeyer7551]

@@AdventuresofAplusK hope all is well, take care.

And, now I'm craving brussel sprouts. Thanks! lol

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That's not something you hear everyday! We love brussel sprouts too though! We miss oven roasted ones!

[@steveblankenship5474]

That hiking looks awesome. I couldn’t get used to it being still light at 10 at night when I was up there last. One thing I did was to get the large mosquitos and tape one on postcards I would send, I got more comments about that and it was the smaller ones which drove you nuts.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Hahaha that’s funny you sent them! And it has been an adjustment with the daylight. Thankfully it has been getting darker!

The three night rule at Tek is correct if you drive. If you get a bus there and tent camp, you can stay a single night if you wish. AFAIK the Camper Bus ticket works similarly to the Tek Pass - both let you do multiple journeys, including east as long as you don't go past Savage River. I think they cost the same too.

Thanks for sharing and watching!

[@debbieblock7248]

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.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

What a cool gig!!! It would be fun to live in a remote setting like that for a bit!

[@peterwuelfing]

Another great episode! Thanks

[@MaisleyVanGo]

We are planning on camping there this summer so got so much out of your video. I'm especially glad you mentioned about being able to get out where buses are turning at mile 43 and continue walking down the road. My husband needs a smooth trail bc of mobility issues so this will be perfect solution for him! Now I just have to convince him that he won't be eaten alive by a grizzly while walking. 😂

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We only saw one grizzly our entire time in Alaska. You should be fine! 😊 We highly recommend checking out mile 43!

[@sheafan1971]

The video is wonderful as always. so pretty in Alaska

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks, William!

[@nationalparksprincess3216]

OMG....that is so beautiful 😍 what a wonderful time ya'll must have had staying in the campground. This park is still on our list, I hope one day we can make it there. So happy to watch the videos you two are putting out there for everyone!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Denali was so amazing and that campground was very peaceful!

[@WhenAdventureKnox]

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]

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!

[@vonda3229]

So enjoyed this video and it was good to see you two taking a nap and resting. You both must be worn out at times. The food you cooked on the fire Adam looked so good! Your antics make me laugh. The green bus was a nice bonus on this trip. Stay safe! Lots of love from Oxfordshire UK 🇬🇧 although I’m from Texas. 😂. 🥰

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We are pretty worn out all of the time haha, so this was a nice break!

[@paulag.9339]

So fun!! Thank you for sharing

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks for watching!

[@daisygolden3311]

watching your video again 🙂 Planning a trip to Denali NP, what month did you go? lots of mosquitos 😞? Love your Kona!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We visited Denali in June/July '22 Check out our website, we have tons of detailed guides for Alaska: adventuresofaplusk.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-visiting-alaska/

[@sandis6177]

Wonderful video! You guys do a terrific job with the photography and the editing. Bravo! Am wondering where you are headed next. Fairbanks area was great to visit.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We planned on visiting Fairbanks before we left, but we got Covid a couple weeks ago and had to rearrange some things. We have a lot of fun stuff coming up! Thanks and thanks for watching!

[@philwatson3646]

Just beautiful! I love it!
