Bikepacking Denali, Alaska // Cycling to Argentina 3

A 4 day bikepacking adventure through Denali National Park, Alaska.
Three weeks into our journey cycling from Alaska to Argentina, we knew we had to spend a few days exploring Denali National Park. Learning of a recent landslide we sparked a plan to push our bikes five miles around it and reconnect with the now disused road on the other side. What ensued was an adventure neither of us will ever forget, it was like exploring a national park after the apocalypse, and we even had some up close encounters with the native Grizzly bears! I hope you enjoy the video.

About
In July 2022, we set off from the very top of Alaska on our bicycles, with the aim of spending the next few years cycling all the way down to the southern tip of Argentina - the entire length of the Americas. We are definitely not in any rush, and often opt to take the scenic, more remote routes where possible. Neither of us are cycle touring or bikepacking experts, but we are figuring all of that stuff out as we go. If you would like to follow along, please consider subscribing!

I like how bears make puppy faces when somebody unexpectedly yells at them, like dogs when they know they’ve done something wrong.

[@GregMcCahon]

I felt so bad, it looked so disappointed that we didn't want to play. The politest little bear ever 😭

[@chaseadventures]

Haha aww true

[@nugrohom5737]

Cycling to argentina wow..... Beautiful view and long track.

[@gingleb3792]

[@pickuptrash]

What an amazing adventure. Thank you so much for taking us along with you!

[@GregMcCahon]

Our pleasure and thank you!

what a waste to youtube this in "direct time", just throw all these gopro :D

[@JLundegaardify]

Hey you two. I’m glad I caught this so early in your journey. I love this idea and love the content. This is very exciting for me. One suggestion though (and please don’t take this as a criticism): I think something truly serene about bikepacking is how long you get to sit in the environment. The world is there for you to live in and experience. I mention this because I wish some of your shots were presented for longer. The cuts seem to happen very quickly from one shot to the next, and I wish we had more time to sit with what you have experienced, too. Thank you kindly for making these. I look forward to seeing more of your journey!

[@GregMcCahon]

Thanks so much for watching! And thank you, thats great feedback and I will take it onboard

[@robertharrison8762]

I could feel Iohan's smile in this one :,)

[@MundoCiclismo]

That’s for sure! I miss a lot his adventures stories on the bike. R.I.P. Iohan… you spired so many people to go out there.

[@anujkerketta2947]

Very very soothing music 🎵🎶

[@femke_b]

This has got to be some of the most beautiful landscapes I’ve ever seen. You’re so blessed to be able to experience it like this. It’s inspiring me to pick my mountainbike up again and start training for bike packing holidays. Can’t wait to see your next videos!

[@GregMcCahon]

That is awesome! So happy to hear that its inspired you - its such a beautiful way to travel! Thanks for the kind words

[@phytra]

KZbin must’ve caught that I like unconventional travel videos. I stumbled across your series yesterday and, though you’re not the first to do this kind of series, there is something special about your storytelling and editing. I’d be surprised if this series doesn’t blow up! Have a safe journey, I look forward to your next uploads.

[@tittyskillet3413]

Agreed. They make an interesting pair of travelers.

[@katie1hinds]

Hi can you share some of the other channels you watch along the same vein? I like these too

[@danielfawcett1982]

Undoubtably some of the best KZbin content I’ve ever watched! In a few months there will be millions following you journey

[@GregMcCahon]

Thanks Daniel!

[@h.p.734]

The entire ride was so pictureque, it felt like it was right out of a movie.. I can only dream of going on a biking trip like this. I hope both of you can make it to Argentina safely. That would give me some hope that it is possible!

[@goofoffbert]

You do this, you know you can do any thing life. I don't know you and am very proud of you.

[@tortugacocoful]

Hey guys!! This is so wonderful! I love the peaceful, respectful, sensitive and exciting way of showing this fantastic piece of the planet. Thank you, Greg and Victoria! Take care and keep enjoying it!!

[@GregMcCahon]

Thank you so much Carolina!

[@freelander]

I've commented on both previous videos but I will comment on this one and every last one of them until the end. I love them that much. Thanks for taking us on this journey with you.

[@GregMcCahon]

thanks so much! I'm glad you are enjoying them

[@Stippenkummelll]

these videos have such a wholesome and inspiring mood to them! have fun on your adventure!

[@rinrat6754]

What a beautiful place. Thank you for showing a well handled bear encounter as an exciting gift, and not dramatizing it. We had a very close encounter with a female grizzly this summer and handled it like you. Nice loud greeting, mutual admiration and peaceful departure. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

[@GregMcCahon]

Thanks for watching! That sounds incredible, they are stunning creatures - such a privilege to see one so close up

[@kalea.b06-39]

these absolutely breathtaking views paired with serene music made me cry happy tears the entire video! beautiful editing!! i dont know how you keep biking I would be stopping every five minutes to let it all sink in!!

[@GregMcCahon]

Aw that is so beautiful, thank you so much for the kind words

It's awesome to see a couple bike packing, their aren't' that many out there.. Be careful on your route... Be safe, and ask the people of the towns if it's safe to travel in the area... Awesome beautiful videos... Thanks ❤❤❤

[@sabra1066]

Are you sure they are dating?

[@jlmoura]

It is so heartwarming to watch these videos. You are explorers that take us along your journey. I can feel the determination to carry on and be one with the environment. No wonder the grizzly understood your command. Looking forward to witness the next step of your long ride through the Americas.

Another great video, thank you! What i like most about this series is the tone, feels like a mediation on the landscape and nature, and our place in it. Although that just might be Alaska for you!
