Glaciers In The Sky- Part 1

A weekend of glaciers, mountains, shelf roads, mines, and friends. We reached over 9000ft (almost 3000m).

[@HighGroundByNightfall]

Looking forward to Part 2 so I can say a big good on you guys for rebuilding the road across the washout up "McD". I was talking to Valentin while I was out there and told him that it had washed out. I think we were just up there a few days or a week prior to your crew and we didn't have the man power required, so we hiked to the mine and that was a real pain. Camping at the top would have been awesome. V said the road was already washing back out a few hours later so it's gonna be a challenge to keep it open? Anyway wanted to say thank you for putting in the hard work once again Denny. A gentleman and a scholar. Great video too.

it's been up for almost a week. Unfortunately it bombed. here you go kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaHGqah4msehgsksi=49McygWL1pKnEnuX

[@johnnardino3452]

Nice country Denny thanks for showing . What is the history on why a road was built up there ?

[@DennyOfTheAlpine]

Thank you. It was for mines. Im just finishing up part 2, which I go into the mine, and up the ridge where there were old collapsed shafts.

[@johnnardino3452]

@@DennyOfTheAlpine Great Denny I love mining and logging history I always think how that person who work there and the old equipment that was used .

[@BiggerBetterFaster]

@@DennyOfTheAlpine was this a gold mine, or something else? It always amazes me the amount of effort and labour that was done before machines

[@DennyOfTheAlpine]

@@BiggerBetterFaster I believe it was gold. I haven’t pulled the historical mine file data yet, but plan to. I love knowing what years it operated.

Incredible views!! Going to watch part 2 😊

[@DennyOfTheAlpine]

@@SharG420 part 2 is even better! Thanks for watching. Enjoy

My #1 destination on my to "gotta go" list... I wish I'd known that y'all were going! 🚙😎✌️

[@DennyOfTheAlpine]

@@MJWillick I didn’t even know I was going. 😆. My LJ is down right now, so had to cancel, then I bought the JK. I’ll let you know next time I go there. We might do a trail clearing on another trail.

[@MJWillick]

​@DennyOfTheAlpine Yes, I'd definitely be down! 🙌😎✌️

Beautiful country. Take care.

[@DennyOfTheAlpine]

Thank you. It was a really fun trip

[@Gerry-K]

Great video Denny! Thx for showing us all the beautiful views. Stay Safe!

[@DennyOfTheAlpine]

@@Gerry-K thanks Gerry. It takes so much effort to edit, and I’m doing it with basic stuff. It’s tough to make the time, but worth it if people watch them

[@adrianthurston2865]

Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@DennyOfTheAlpine]

@@adrianthurston2865 thanks for watching. Part 2 will be awesome

[@DIRTVENTURE]

16:48 that is the one thing I did not always like, when you are out with a group everyone stops, either because there’s no room or they all want to watch the next Jeep go threw the obstacle. But then they’re in the way lol

[@DennyOfTheAlpine]

for sure. Its got its drawbacks.

[@kb_701]

Just WOW!

[@DennyOfTheAlpine]

@@kb_701 I agree! Check out part 2! It was so much better, but didn’t get through the algorithm. Here’s the link. Thanks for watching kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaHGqah4msehgsksi=Js1ckuFmLiNHANVM

[@kb_701]

100% my plan tonight!

[@DennyOfTheAlpine]

@@kb_701 I promise you it will be worth it. Uploaded to 4K. Also sped up a bunch of the driving, to showcase the views and glaciers action. I can’t wait to go back there

[@DennyOfTheAlpine]

It’s awesome to be able to watch this after (without thinking of all the editing) , and see all that I missed while I was driving and filming. It really is a unique, and epic spot.

[@kb_701]

AMAZING scenery!!

It was quite a trip! 👍

[@rubichronic2011]

Great video. This one really shows the scale of the area well. But I really have to wonder, with all that traffic up there, and a new KZbin video with this place in it popping up every couple of days, is this place gonna go the same way MollyB did soon? I hope not, but I better get there soon and make my own video!

[@DennyOfTheAlpine]

the only chance we have to keep them open is using, and maintaining them. In part 2 we have to rebuild the road to use it. This area is definitely seeing more action due to the west Koot's being under fire. Moly closed due to politics, and grizzly habitat etc. Also, nobody wanted to clean, and maintain the road at Moly, so it was easy for them to close it.

[@rubichronic2011]

@@DennyOfTheAlpine It is 100% untrue that nobody wanted to clean the road at MollyB. Nobody was even given an option. There were no talks, discussions, or any offered opportunities to the 4WD community. I live an hour from Molly and I would have been all over the opportunity to volunteer my time to keep it open. I went to MollyB multiple times over about 10 years, and it was always clean and the trail remained unchanged, with the majority of users respecting the area. The one time I managed to find a couple bags of trash abandoned in the woods, I was able to identify the group that left it to the local CO, and he told me that he thought the 4WD community was usually well behaved in the area. MollyB was shut down because of it's rapidly growing popularity. KZbin videos certainly played a part, but it would be unfair to try and pin it on that alone. It became too popular for it's own good. I agree with you completely that we need to use these areas if we wish to retain access, but I'm not entirely sure bringing up huge groups of vehicles is doing us any favours. Kind of seems like a damd if we do, damd if we don't situation. With all that said, looking forward to the next video.

3:06 that is a great shot

@@jerrymarkee4269 it was sooo good. Thanks for watching. I haven’t made a video in a while

Started with part 2. So I needed to come back and check. Would love to bring my cj7 up to do some wheeling / testing

[@jbjeep8324]

Beautiful area. I do wish you would tell us the peak or the glacier names tho. I like to check it out on the maps. Maybe one day I will get back up to BC for some more exploring.
