Why you both do not have triple the subscribers is beyond me. I'm mid 70's with a hip residue from a bad car/pedestrian accident decades ago so you do the walking for me now. We camp northern BC, Yukon and Northwest Territories yearly so I can still get out there, its the hiking I miss. You both fulfill that

[@ajduker]

Check out Mediocre Amateur's channel. INCREDIBLE hiking videos.

[@jp05598]

I e been subscribed for a while but just rediscovered them. Not sure why the algorithm wasn’t suggesting their videos. Oh well, now I get to binge on them!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We're thankful for what we have at the moment. We're just happy and grateful that we can share our adventures for others to enjoy as well!

[@dennisborowski7872]

My wife and I are in our 70s hiking out of question. As with other person you do hiking for us. We drove Yukon and Alaska 7 times in last 8 years always love going back. Take care guys stay safe

[@debbieleonhardt8056]

We are almost to our 70’s and are planning a trip to Alaska this summer with a group so I am so happy to have found your videos to see what we can expect. I love the educational value and will be watching all your travel videos. Keep up the great work!

[@tomevans7567]

As an Alaskan that has been to the majority of places you mentioned I have to agree with you about the drive to Valdez. Thompson Pass, especially if you can catch it on one of the rare clear days is simply stunning. Glad you enjoyed our State and hope you visit again some day. Your videos remind me how truly lucky I am to live here.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Alaska was everything and more we hoped it would be!

[@timpeterson3300]

Thank you, Thank you. I graduated from college in 1977, threw all that I owned in an old jeep and drove the Alcan to Anchorage. I worked at Providence Hospital for a year and tried to explore the area as much as possible. I made it to alot of the places you visited, but your hikes and commentary really went above and beyond my experiences. I spent a week camping out on the end of the Homer spit, and I still think Homer Alaska is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Thanks again for the nostalgia.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Oh wow what a cool story! Thanks for sharing that! We had a blast in Alaska. It was everything and more we hoped it'd be. Thanks and thanks for watching!

[@ruggedland]

That Kenai Fjords episode is just incredible. Both Icefield hike and boat tour were truly epic. Overall this Alaskan trip was fantastic and thanks for sharing with us

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much!

[@srameypr]

Y'all - I have watched other full-timers' Alaskan trips and yours has by far been the most entertaining, informative, well-rounded and exciting. Your video work and editing skills are superb. You hiked to areas that are physically impossible for me, but your videos made me feel like I was there. Hopefully, I will be retired in the next couple of years and Alaska will be at the top of my to-do list,. Your videos will definitely help point the way. Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking us along with you on this amazing adventure!

[@BPCalaskaCARYN]

live here (15 years) and only time I have seen Brown Bears was during salmon runs as they partake in the feasting and one time on the Glenn Highway near Anchorage. I am very bless I can say to live a short drive from Hatchers pass, on of my fav place to hike also. I hiked solo for so many years and luckily have not run into a bear.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Wow! When Kathryn flew to Texas for a wedding and I stayed back in Alaska I was too nervous to go solo hiking!

[@glory5918]

@@AdventuresofAplusK - actually that was a wise decision. David Paulides Missing 411 / CanAm Midding Project on here stresses NEVER HIKE ALONE !!! Do not lose sight of your hiking buddy (buddies). Always carry an 'activated' PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) and a fire arm. Dave has recently advised an Air Horn too. - Air Horns can be more effective than Bear Spray and are also recommended by Gov't Agt Victor, frequent guest of Jeff Nadolny / Dogman & Paranormal Research

[@jenniferpletcher9088]

Thanks for all the work you put into these videos. I am looking forward to your Alaska travel guide. Your videos and travel guides have been a go to resource for our travel planning. The quality of your videography and detailed guides are top notch. We didn’t want to disturb you when we sat by you in that Boise ice cream shop recently, but I wish I had so I could let you know how much your work is appreciated. Keep up the great work!

When you write your travel guides, I hope you include a list of the places you wanted to check out, but just did not have time for. Not reviews or anything, but more like when the end of a book has a “further reading” section. This was just a great series overall. Thank you for sharing!

We're glad you enjoyed the videos! Stay tuned on our website for guides and itineraries (hopefully in the next few months) for everything we did in Alaska and Canada!

[@DanuteP]

Glad you had fun up here. The mosquito situation is location and season dependent. Lowland areas with mostly swamp/tundra/wetlands and no wind have horrid bugs. Higher elevations and rocky rivers are less of an issue since there is no breeding grounds.

[@tacrewgirl]

Agreed, the marshy areas + no wind = breeding ground for the big mosquitoes, but this year it wasn't as bad.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Good to know! Thanks!

We went in early June and took the boat tour to the glaciers from Seward and saw Humpback Whales it was amazing seeing their tails coming out of the water. Exit Glacier was a great hike too.

[@kristymoore7052]

Love this. My first of three summers in AK, I brought shorts and no rain gear. TG for Fred Meyer. I had to buy layers, rain gear, rain boots, etc. Though it was often warm enough for short sleeves many days, it rained almost every afternoon. A couple of times it snowed in July. I spent my summers about 40 miles east of Fairbanks and about the same north of Delta Junction, dropped off by a bush plane into the wilderness, though there were hunting cabins. I’ve always wanted to go back and explore, yes, the places you can drive to and then hike, backpack or just be a tourist. Am taking notes.

[@bertexas1184]

June visiting is suggested in your video. Our experience in early June of 2008 was that there are no salmon anywhere, so there are no whales or other wildlife in the waters. June 15 was mentioned as about when the salmon arrive. We had one rainy day over two weeks and saw Denali everyday for a week. Great job on this and all of your videos.

[@almamdani6564]

Excellent information for all of us who have not been.

[@debrabalawajder2617]

We are finally caught up with your videos! We just watched this one last night. We really enjoyed Alaska with you; you did a wonderful job! I loved these "favorites" to help us plan a trip if we get to that point! I could tell the weather wasn't the greatest but your videos still captured the beauty of the area! Weather can be such a big issue; we had some smoke which put a damper on our trip but we still got good pictures and on our last day in Glacier NP, it was the clearest and that's when I really took a lot of pictures. When you plan and plan and spend money, the last thing you want is smoke covering up the mountains! LOL We were on our own 2 week trip to Montana and enjoyed doing our own wildlife count (even doing the high 5's!): 2 Bears; 3 Eagles; 2 Moose; 1 Fox; 1 Osprey; 1 Hoary Marmot; 1 Woodpecker that put a show on for us; 2 Turkeys; 2 Mtn goats; Partridges; Hawk; deer; chipmunks and squirrel! lol We did make it to the Garnet Ghost/Mining Town - it was fun to be able to go into some of the buildings. After MT, we got covid, so we're getting caught up on life! Keep up the great work; looking forward to watching the Dawson City video!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

The weather was tough at times, but thankfully it worked in our favor when we really needed it to! The thing about the North is you have to be able to live with the rain and changing weather or you're going to have a miserable time. We were also thankful we didn't experience much wildfire smoke during our trip That's a solid wildlife count! Nice! Garnet Ghost Town is really neat! Bummer about Covid...we hope all is well!

[@sueannsimonson6509]

Awesome! We have lots of Alaska content on our website as well! We hope you have a great trip!

[@amycuaresma]

The first hike is the advanced level for sure, but the end result is worth it! Hatcher Pass is in my back yard, it's right outside of Anchorage. There are parts of the Chugach Mountains that could be a national park. I have hiked to Glacier National Park and have noticed comparisons to the Chugach mountains. The vast mountains, valley and the snowy peaks are all here in your backyard. Just a short drive from Anchorage, Bear Valley is the gateway to these great vista views. Look down into the valley, towards Rabbit Lake with Suicide Peaks in the background. There are hidden hiking trails that follow the ridge-line up to get a grand view of these peaks. These trails are less traveled, no fee stations, just waiting for you to explore.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We can’t wait to come back and see more! Thanks for the tips and thanks for watching!

[@catriona_steele9817]

Great series guys! I just got back from a solo van trip to Alaska and did a lot of the same things you did and boondocked in a lot of the same spots (I went Talkeetna-Valdez-ferry to Whittier-Cooper Landing-Seward-Portage Glacier area then tent camped at Brooks Camp in Katmai). You've given me some great ideas for things I missed for the next trip (already planning, of course!). I can STRONGLY recommend Katmai for your next trip (flights are expensive, but the campground is not, and the bears will blow your mind). Also, if you get back to Seward, the Northwestern Glacier was unbelievable, as was kayaking at Aialik Glacier (but tbh, the Northwestern Glacier was really out of this world - top 3 for me along with the Harding Icefield trail and, obviously, those Katmai 🐻😍). Also, since you both loved Valdez (me too) the ferry trip to Whittier is stunning and a cuts down on driving back. I really had other things planned for next summer, but now you've filled my head with ideas, so back to Alaska it is (plus I gotta go back to Katmai to see my bears). Keep up the great work - your channel is my favourite planning tool!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We really wanted to do Katmai, but just couldn't swing the price. We'll definitely bite the bullet on that one someday! The ferry ride to Valdez sounded awesome, but again it was the price...plus that drive is incredible. We definitely want to check out those glaciers you mentioned though and do more things on the water! Thank you so much for watching!

[@JazzBanjo]

Super helpful guys! Thanks! My favorite was the red hut area. The scenery was incredible! FYI, the fall colors here in Colorado are exploding!

Ya the red hut was hard to beat for me!

[@johnkivi3122]

Wow what’s trip. Thank you for bringing us along. It became must see viewing for us this summer watching your adventure. We loved it. Best compliment I can give is that we integrated places you stayed and visited into trips to San Diego, Palm Springs, Joshua Tree and Bend OR this year. We stumbled on the channel after your visit to our hometown of Tucson. You nailed it here and we were hooked. Can’t wait to see what’s next. As coffee aficionados any favorite Austin TX places from your past time there? We head into Austin this week.

[@nevarimel]

Hey guys, thanks for your awesome videos of Alaska we watched all of them as you released them then again as we prepared for our 2024 season in Alaska, and tonight I rewatched this one as we are parked at a pull out on the Turnagain. We really appreciate all of your tips and information. BTW Starlink now works in Alaska 👍👏 We work full time 9-5 est job and must have good connection and we are thrilled that the coverage has been great. Our biggest challenge is finding a spot without Trees or mountains blocking GPS 😊 but we are in a 35' class A and have always found a good spot. I hope you guys have had a good respite and can really enjoy your travels you guys are really good and will be successful it just takes a lot of time. Take care

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We're glad our videos are helpful! We have lots of content on Alaska on our website too! That is very nice that Starlink works up there now. That would have been helpful and it'll be great when we go up again in the few years. Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@jameswaldecker1236]

This is great! There was so much I could comment on from my own trip, but when you were going through the camping spots, I started to realize we may have been very close to each other. I stayed at the Trail Lake Lodge in Moose Pass the nights of both July 4 and 5. The view of the lake at 6 in the morning with the sea plane sitting there was beautiful, peaceful, and very Alaskan. Seward books up on July 4, but Moose Pass is perfectly good for those of us that stay in hotels. Then on July 11, I was heading west after the Lion's Head Trail toward Palmer along the Glenn Highway when I spotted a van down by the river (I couldn't help it) that looked almost exactly like Brisket. If you were at the Matanuska River camping spot during the afternoon of 7/11, then perhaps I saw you. :) Thank you once again for all these videos! My big trip for next summer will be a PNW loop through Washington, Oregon, and Idaho, so I have a feeling you might be hitting some things on the way down that I'll be very interested in (just as you already have on the way up)!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Hey James! Sorry for the delayed response! We were at Trail Lake in Moose Pass on July 4th! But we were in Wasilla on July 11th recovering from Covid. But I wouldn’t be surprised if we did pass each other a couple times during your trip! If you need any help with things to do in the PNW check out our website and definitely send us an email as it gets closer and you know what areas you’ll be going to. We’ll help out in anyway we can! Thank you so much as always for commenting and watching!

[@jameswaldecker1236]

No worries! In such a huge state like Alaska, it's funny we actually wound in the same town for one night. My big challenge with PNW is prioritizing; there is so much to see, and there is so much I've learned from watching your videos. The one specific question I'm researching is which two or three day hikes in North Cascades (or the surrounding area) are best. I know I'll be studying that. Thank you always for all the great work you do! Looking forward to what you find on the way back to Texas!

[@JeffPattyLivingtheGoodLife]

Thank you for taking us along with you on your trip to Alaska. Patty and I were in the planning stages of making the trip this year, however fuel prices kept us in the lower 48. We did get a chance to fly there in June and go fishing in Seward and climb Flattop Mountain. Alaska is an amazing place and we will be making that journey at some point in the future.

Though we savored your whole trip, we especially loved your videos on Hope, Whittier, Kennecott, your hike to the red cabin, & the great summary video. Glad you had a good experience on the boat seeing the glaciers calve. We had high winds & a rainstorm the whole day. :( In your summary video, we both guessed at which ones you'd choose in each category, and bingo, we hit most of them. You two are amazing. You make it all fun! Can't wait for your (our) next adventures. PS You must have REALLY liked Alaska to make your logo "AK". HaHa.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We really enjoyed the small towns as well! I think they gave us the "true" Alaskan experience. That's funny that you guessed most of our picks correctly! Thank you so much for watching and for your very nice comment!

[@coachjohn]

Thank you for the video series. We are visiting in August and are going to use your advice and visit Denali, Seward and Glacier City (ice climbing). Any insider tips?

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That's going to be awesome! We shared the best we've got in this video. If you've got any specific questions, feel free to send us an email! We also have tons of Alaska content on our website! Thanks for watching!

[@helphelp9400]

Hopefully you guys can see the inside passage of Alaska in the future.

[@dougpospisil8582]

I agree…was hoping to see Skagway, Haines, Juneau, etc…maybe on their next trip! Southeastern Alaska is the most beautiful part of AK in my humble opinion:)

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It's on our bucket list! Just didn't have time for it this trip

[@patriciamesser-perry523]

FOOD: There are also Fred Meyers in Anchorage, Eagle River, Palmer, Wasilla, Soldotna(kenai) & Fairbanks!! ALSO IN ALASKA: CARRS & 3 BEARS are both very good, reasonably priced places to get groceries!!! And of course COSTCO in Anchorage, Fairbanks & Juneau!! ENJOY💖

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Good to know! Thank you!

[@randehansen3999]

I’m a bit late watching your fantastic videos from Alaska. The mountains and fjords are very similar to those in western and northern Norway. We do have a mountain area that boasts a spectacular view of two lakes, green and blue, along the Besseggen day hike. It’s a highlight of that hike, in addition to a narrow pass everyone is nervous to climb - or descend. I’ll continue to watch your blogs, both old and new. It’ll take some time to catch up! 😁

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Yes, although we’ve not been to Norway yet, we’ve noticed some similarities from photos! Norway is high on our list and will likely be part of our next European adventure! Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@crprovost]

Amazing series guys!

[@orientxprsoffroad]

The best tour guide - ever. Better than AAA, Chamber of Commerce you got beat. A&K Alaska should make you both an ambassador. 👏👊🏼

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

The inbox is open! 😂 Thank you!

[@kelvinyschun]

Awesome experience. Without video, I forgot what I did Yesterday! Winter gives a different experience. You missed Fairbanks? Driving 3 hours to the Castner Ice Cave was one of my favorites. The cave is melting so might vanish in the future.

[@BPCalaskaCARYN]

I noticed that also but there really is not that much to see up that way. The Cave is really the only unique thing up that way.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

With getting Covid we just ran out of time

The ilusive humpback bear lol

[@donnaschilling7690]

Definitely a trip we’d love to do! Thanks for taking us with you and for the info and tips! Looking forward to the guides/itineraries! Have you been to Iceland? We RVed the Ring Road last summer and I think you would both love it!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We're glad we could share our adventures! Thanks for watching! We have not been to Iceland yet, but it's high on our bucket list!

[@hikinganddrone]

Thanks for sharing my friend…👍👍👍

[@michaelbecnel63]

Our tentative plans are to rv Alaska summer of 2024. We'll be on the look out for your guides and itineraries..Happy Trails 🐕

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Awesome! Thanks, Michael!

[@genericalaskanexplorer4470]

AT&T is your best bet when it comes to phone service GCI is also good but not as good as AT&T. Also starlink does exist up here it's just very patchy and only works for certain hours.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks for the info! When we visited Starlink wasn't available at all!

[@ryanstrickland2989]

Great video! what Months did you do this trip? I am planning a trip now and thinking about going in late May early June.

[@bertexas1184]

Denali may not open until June 1, which was true in 2008.

[@SarathKumarbhavanasi]

Which month did you guys visit the Kenai Fjords National Park?

[@stevedietrich8936]

Great summary. I enjoyed every one of your videos from this series. The next time I go to Alaska I am going to try to include Valdez (and I am going to go fishing as well).

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Awesome! Thank you! I would have loved to gone fishing there as well. Next time!

[@joe8205]

I live in Anchorage. My son’s go to every time at Wild Scoops is what he calls the S’mores. Chocolate, baked Alaska, and waffle cone. My go-to is the rhubarb crumble. I got your back, homie. I concur

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Oooooh buddy, you can’t go wrong with either of those!

[@joe8205]

@@AdventuresofAplusK The ice cream shop at the tourist trap gas station in Girdwood has icecream made from glacier. The pizza shop next door has a killer breakfast pizza.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks for the tips! We can’t wait to get back up there!

[@Roadtosomethingnew1]

thanks for sharing your tips

[@juliamello3922]

Hey Adam and Kathryn, I just want to say that I'm not a big KZbin watcher, but you guys are amazing!!! There are SO many videos about Alaska that none are even close to this be this good! I watched the whole playlist and many of the videos I watched several times! You are very organized and the content is very very very helpful!!! Thank you for sharing your experiences in such a good format!!! I don't know If you will actually read this comment as you may have too many all the time but I want to share here that I am going to Alaska in 4 weeks and I'm so happy I found your videos!! Im so grateful, you have no idea =) Also, I have a question that I would love some help with, I'm bringing my drone, is it easy to find places to fly it there? Thank you very much! Be safe and happy!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Wow! Thank you so much! We're glad you find our content helpful! We'd suggest also checking out our website for more helpful planning tips for visiting Alaska. We've been working really hard over the past few months to get those out and they can be even more detailed and helpful than our videos. There are lots of places to fly the drone in Alaska. I'd recommend downloading the OpenSky app. It tells you where you can and cannot fly in the US. Near airports and in National Parks are the major big no fly zones Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

[@juliamello3922]

I will definitely check it out! Thank you so much!!! ❤️

[@javiervega3238]

I only can say thank you for all the effort you have put in prepare these videos. Very good summary and very well organized video. I love it. I hope one day I could hike the Gold Mint Trail to the Red Hut and Reed Lakes & Hatcher Pass In the meantime enjoying with your videos

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much, Javier!

[@NarrativeEscapes]

That is my concern about an Alaska trips. If you think you didn't scratch the surface at an 'effective month' most people are going to be challenged with 1-2 weeks!. So I can see sticking with one area. I may be cruising up in May (1 week) and then a week inland. I feel like it's a trip of epic sacrifices😁 Also the fact we really enjoyed the Canadian Rockies so it had some competition haha - so I am hoping it inspires!!!

[@dougpospisil8582]

Wonderful video and the summaries are so informative! Great job, for reals; we watch you guys every week! Next time up there hit SE Alaska, some of the most beautiful scenery you will ever find is in Juneau, Mud Bay, Haines and Skagway! Oh and you need to go to Steve Kroschel’s Wildlife Preserve and watch him put a wolverine into a trance 😂

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

The inside passage is definitely on our list for a future trip! Thanks, Doug!

[@tch1225]

What’s one thing you guys really wish you had time for but weren’t able to do?

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Katmai probably
