[@robertthomson1286]

These videos are the very best of their kind. All great pertinent info and good music.

[@TrueNorthCamping]

Thanks very much Robert, that is genuinely appreciated!

superb again. It is great as well to be set up with decent battery power and some solar..... We love spending nights off grid. continued safe travels...

[@TrueNorthCamping]

Thanks so much Shawn. And completely agree, our solar and lithium batts have made dry camping so much more stress free.

[@scottstrobbe9920]

Wow! You really made up for that rainy weather with the conditions at the Park. What a day for an airplane ride! Another great video. Thank you!

[@TrueNorthCamping]

Thanks very much Scott, and you are very right. Just a few hours after we arrived at Denali the weather broke and we had 5 really good days with just a few sprinkles in that time. We really did mean it when we said we did not want to leave. It is an incredible place.

Loved the wildlife shots and footage

[@TrueNorthCamping]

Thanks very much, we loved Denali and that was in a big part because of the amazing wildlife.

Another wonderful video! Spectacular views.We are hoping to take the Denali Air flight ourselves but husband is concerned about getting into the plane because he can not go up stairs that are too high. We called them to ask how high each step would be and they said there is a stool to get onto the airstair. Would you remember how the stairs were getting in and if anyone was having difficulty?

[@TrueNorthCamping]

Hi Maisley, thanks very much. I went back and looked at a photo that showed the steps down on the plane - it looks like the bottom step is about 14” from the ground so a stool would be a good idea and as you mentioned they can provide. This may seem like a silly suggestion but it might be worth seeing if you can find a similar aircraft at an airfield near you and have a look for yourself (I think they were Piper Navajos but I am not 100% certain - Im sure Denali Air would tell you). Or maybe DAir could send you a quick video of what its like to board? Hoping this helps…

[@MaisleyVanGo]

@@TrueNorthCamping That is an excellent idea! We live very close to a small airfield and it never dawned on either of us to go there to check out any similar. Thank you! I believe they are pipers. One of the reasons we are choosing Denali Air over the others is that hubs is very paranoid about any single engine plane and were thrilled that Denali Air had twin. Can't wait to see the rest of your videos. We are really enjoying them.

Great video, I was wondering what camera you used for the still shots

[@TrueNorthCamping]

Thanks Ted, some stills are from our cell phones but most were taken on a Sony a6000.

@@TrueNorthCamping Thanks for the info!!

I note there are vehicle length restrictions on a number of the campgrounds in Denali. Am I correct in assuming that a 40 foot maximum length refers to a single unit (i.e. a 5th wheel or Class A) and not to the combined length of a travel trailer and pickup?

[@TrueNorthCamping]

According to the NPS website you are correct: “Recreational Vehicle (RV), Car/Truck/Trailer Information - The maximum length of an individual RV or camper-trailer is 40'. The combined length of a vehicle and trailer combination may exceed 40', but each individual vehicle component (e.g., the truck or trailer) may not exceed 40' on its own. “

[@martinhyde9663]

@@TrueNorthCamping Thanks! I figured that was the case as you were there with a setup similar to ours (an Escape 21 and a F150)

[@nickipiaget7703]

What do you do with your dog while on the bus in Denali?

[@TrueNorthCamping]

He stayed in the trailer…was about 6 hrs total.

[@TrueNorthCamping]

Yes! That was shot from the Denali Park Road.
