SEWARD RVLife. Wildlife Cruise? HARDING ICEFIELDS ALASKA RV Fulltime Living RV COUPLE

[@aeconsulting1]

Soooo beautiful! I would have enjoyed the hike too. The view at the glacier reminds me when I was still downhill skiing in Austria at a glacier on high elevation. Just gorgeous, so worth it.😊

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it! Definitely worth it. I've got a friend who guides people in Switzerland for skiing. Quite the life and that is very beautiful as well. Great experience.

[@krisklopf1901]

The scenery!!! WOW!!! I love Otters!!!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you. Sondra's favorite for sure. She was excited to see them!

[@lindacox8156]

WOW THE SURFING FOOTAGE WAS AWESOME‼️Love your pix of Reflection Lake Sandra👍😊The otters were so cute😊Great boat for the wildlife cruise👍The humpbacks gave you quite a show😊That was cool that you hiked through the clouds‼️Oh that blue of the glacier‼️You made it to the Harding Ice Fields‼️👍😊

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you, Linda. The surfing segment was really neat and fun to film. Beautiful weather we had to take advantage of and Sondra is always looking for reflections in the water.

Why you two don’t have a plethora more subscribers is beyond me!🤠❤️. Thank you for taking me to Alaska.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

We don't understand it either, Nancy! 🤣😎😂All good things come to those who wait! We're just enjoying the journey and appreciate those who wish to share in it with us. Really, the channel has grown beyond what we had imagined since it was not a business for us but truly a "video log" of our travels so family and friends (and us) could see where we are going and what we are experiencing. It's fun to look back....but we must move forward! LOL. Appreciate your time watching the channel and glad you're along on the journey.

[@5slavicnomads]

Folks, glad to see you hiked to the Harding Icefield. Hope your toe/foot feels better. We took my crew (8, 10, and 12) on this trail as well. We did many stops and rest along the way. Once we reached the top, we also had a nice lunch with the most amazing views. We found it much more difficult to go back down vs. going up. Our legs were so tired... but so worth it!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Hey Oleg! I agree on the hike down. We were sore! The views at the top were a nice "lunch stop reward". Hope you make it down before the snow hits! Thanks for watching and it was great meeting you.

[@supershuffle]

For the price you paid for the view above the clouds on your ice trail hike, Thank-you. That blue color on the surface of the ice field was stunning. Best quote of the video…”unexpected beauty” For us viewers too’ Regards,

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

That blue color is amazing on those glaciers. Thank you for the comments. 😃 We're excited to have you along on the journey. 😊

[@isabelladavis1363]

What an incredible location…nature just screams at you to look at her….incredible views I can only imagine actually being there…so envious…here in coastal Georgia the swamp isn’t quite as inviting ‘snakes…gators oh my! Quite a culture shock from the foothills of the Alps were I grew up…wow that cloud cover…like another world that few actually are blessed to see…respect for your perseverance and accepting the challenges…it makes for amazing memories….thanks so much for sharing…stay blessed❤

The Georgia mtns are nice (up by Amicalola Falls) but your experience in the Alps is very cool. Beautiful area and VERY different than the Georgia swamps for sure. Thanks for watching.

I was fortunate enough to get to visit Alaska in July. Was there a week. Love watching your videos seeing a few places that I got to see. But love seeing places that I didn't get to see. Makes me what to come back.

Glad you like them! It's great you were able to visit. Beautiful state and we're fortunate to be able to spend so much time here. Thanks for watching.

[@gthornton3]

When hubby was stationed in the Army at Ft Richardson 77-80 we use to go to the Army or Af camp there and go out on their small fishing boats. They had a drawing for the next day and the guy had me draw and it was the last boat. I happened to draw our name. We loved Seward.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Beautiful area. That's a neat experience. Thanks for watching.

[@LynBailey7]

Another stunning video. Loved seeing the Bore Tide, which I haven't seen before on my 4 trips past there. Also loved Kenai Fiord and your hike to the Harding Icefield. thanks so much for taking this 75 year old on your travels. I'm loving reminiscing on the places I have been fortunate enough to visit in person, and the places I haven't got to see yet, like today's video. 💖💖

Thanks, Lyn. It was an amazing hike and we never get tired of seeing the bore tide. Glad you're along on the journey. 😊

[@jeannealex2560]

Hi guys... The scenery is absolutely beautiful breathtaking.... Look like an awful long hike ... Was Sondra eating most of the way...lol... Why replace all 6 tires when it appeared you only had one that was a problem.??.. Thank you for the video we definitely look forward to seeing them each every week... You guys stay safe...J&A

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

hey J&A, thanks for watching! Yes, Sondra was snacking the entire hike to keep her blood sugar up. We changed all 6 tires since our Class C is 4WD and they can't just change one due to size differences (diameter). Appreciate your comments and you guys have safe travels.

[@richardrawlins7950]

Can't wait till we make the trip ! Absolutely beautiful country safe travels from Rick and Pam from southern Ohio at Big Bear Creek family campground

[@cindybressoud9869]

You two are inspiring! Love your videos! Our first trip to Alaska was a cruise… first and last cruise… looking forward to really seeing Alaska. Maybe be able to convince my husband to drive with our trailer… just rookies at this point… Also I suggest hiking poles!!! Makes the down much easier on the knees!😊

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks so much, Cindy. Alaska is a beautiful state if you take it slow and have the time to enjoy it. We forgot the hiking poles in Orion but you're correct in that they do make the down much easier and less stressful. Experience is a great teacher and as you get more with the trailer then confidence will grow. Safe travels.

[@Sushi2735]

It is unbelievable when the sun comes out! Perfect day to be out on the water. In fact magnificent. But what are you doing back in Alaska when you just left. Inquiring minds need to know? 😅😅😅😅

We came back to hike to the icefields and to go to Katmai National Park... then on to the Dempster Highway.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks Yvonne for watching! That structure is a conveyor that was used to load coal on ships many years ago.

[@lindawalker404]

I loved this vlog. So much green and blue. Do you know what causes the tide and surfing at that river at the beginning of this vlog? It was spectacular. The otters during the cruise look like clowns and oh yes the view of the mountains in the clouds looks like mountains floating in melted marshmallows. Another great vlog thanks so much?😊❤

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Linda. The waves are created due to a combination of the depth of water in the bay and the tidal difference from low to high tides. In other words, the amount of water flowing back in and the speed with which the water flows out of the bay during the tidal change. You need extremes in this case such as a relatively shallow bay along with large tidal changes. Alaska is unique since this is the only place in the world where you get this phenomenon in a mountainous bay area creating a very visually appealing scene.

[@chanm1000]

Beautiful hike, we did the flight haha.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

LOL...that must have been some great views as well. Thanks

So beautiful! One of my sons and I flew to Anchorage and rented an RV 2 yrs ago. We were at Exit Glacier on Sep. 11th. We weren’t quite as adventurous as you. You guys put us to shame 😂. We did the lower hike. I’ve been really appreciating your Alaska adventures. I’m hoping we’ll be going back next year.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

I'll bet that was a memorable trip with your son. Beautiful area. That hike was our third attempt over 3 visits so I was excited to finally get it done.

Have you ever come east to the smoky man's?? Very similar and beautiful.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

We used to live in the Upstate of South Carolina and have hiked the AT section from Fontana Dam to Clingmans Dome. Beautiful country. We love the layers of the Appalachians with the "smoky" mist over the ridgelines. We have a video where we spent some time on the Blue Ridge Parkway and did a few hikes. One was to Linville Gorge which is really very cool.

[@Beana10]

If you have never been to Alaska, this video doesn’t do it justice. You must see it in person. The sights, sounds and aroma is spectacular.

[@paulmillich8934]

Couldn’t disagree more. No substitute for being their in person to be sure. But they did a wonderful job of capturing the essence of Alaska.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

there is definitely no substitute for seeing Alaska in person...but so many never get a chance and even those who do visit generally don't see as much as we have this summer. You should watch the other Alaska videos to get a better understanding of where we went. I'll wager it's a lot more places than many residents! Thanks for the comment and watching the channel.

[@gthornton3]

We lived there from 77-80 hubby was in the Army at Ft Richardson. Ak is amazing

[@voyagingwithvincent1994]

Alaska has a crisp atmosphere you couldn’t get anywhere else. @Beana10, you are absolutely correct, you must visit in person.

It is amazing... this is a 2D experience but it's better than most (we think).

I think the locations in this segment is one, if not "the" one, on the favorite list. The differences in scenery and nature, the water with the rocky cliffs about, superb. Sorry about the ending but I'd choose safety over more of some of the same? And you two must be in great health and shape for all of that hiking. I don't think I could do that stuff anymore since age has uncovered itself. But good for you and thanks for also doing it for me and the others who come to see all of the excitement of your travels. Until next time....stay safe, well and happy.

[@srachui9150]

Hi, what time of the year did you go? Apologies if I missed it. Also, the 4000 ft elevation gain and 4.1 miles, that's what you tracked yourselves? Everywhere I look I see different stats. People are reporting on AllTrails that they have to go further than the AllTrails route to get up to the actual icefield. I SO want to do this hike, but it will definitely be pushing my limits. Good job, both of you and excellent videography and photography!!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thank you very much. We went August 24th. The stats are what we tracked but it matches closely with what the NP signage states as well. The mileage to the summit varies a little based on the different routes and when your stop... there's not an actual summit sign post so it's left to a little bit of personal interpretation.

[@lynntwyeffort5662]

Hey David & Sondra, we injoy your Alaska videos. Making our trip in spring of 2025. Planing on spending the summer up there. Couple questions, what brand of drone do you use. And what are some must does while we spend the summer. Was the trip to Prudhoe Bay worth the drive? We also plan on doing a lot of boondocking, thank you and safe travels

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

You'll enjoy Alaska. I fly a DJI Mini2 (Costco special). Depends on what you like to do. Prudhoe bay for us was worth it because we love the scenery above the Arctic Circle (drive between Coldfoot and Prudhoe Bay is epic}. We took it real slow on the roads though. We plan on doing a trip summary later on after we're done. We really enjoyed the drive on the Denali Highway too. The LuluBelle in Valdez is a very cool cruise/tour but a glacier landing out of Talkeetna on a clear day is also epic. I think focus on what you enjoy and plan for that. LOL...it's really hard to do a "don't miss" list. Denali National Park is very cool too.

Beautiful!

Thank you! Cheers!

How long does it take you to walk that trail and how difficult was it?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

It was fairly difficult. We took about 4 hours to hike up to the summit and about 5 1/2 coming down. Down was longer due to Sondra's toe hurting...she was very gingerly stepping down the slope.

[@norton6654]

@@bigtruckbigtravels thank you and I hope she is better that would have been painful

[@dt8ustotten285]

That was so AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't begin to imagine what those views were like in the moment! Love you guys!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

It was truly amazing. Hard to describe as we rounded the bend in the trail to see the icefields. Thank you.

[@marcomorissette7940]

Every week I just keep repeating myself in my comments but AMAZING trip you bring us with you and can’t thank you enough!😍🥰🇨🇦

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

LOL...You're very welcome, Marco. We enjoy this RV travel lifestyle. Appreciate your comments and watching the channel.

[@robingastonia9192]

OMG, Katmai, to see Otis, 747, Walker, and Grazier. I sure hope you get to go. I watch Brooks Falls during the season of Salmon. It is amazing. I will be watching next week to see if you make it. I can not wait till Fat Bear Week, yes you sure can tell that I watch the webcam. I will miss it when they cut the cameras, everything is on solar and in the winter, not much sun in Alaska. Your trip is a dream vacation. It has been so amazing. You are really doing your trip the right way. Can't wait to see Katmai!!!!!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Robin. Just a few more days and you'll get your Katmai Bear fix! LOL. Very cool area and such a unique environment. Appreciate your watching the channel.

[@CarolStJohn-ev9ry]

Another great episode, you two are so relatable, informative and Entertaining. The views were out of this world, thank you for all the work you put into producing these videos, they are top notch.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks so much, Carol. We really enjoy the RV travel experience and the sights we're able to experience. Glad you're along on the journey.

[@steveddavis]

For me, the Bore Tide is one of the more interesting things you have shared. Thanks! The reflection Lake vista is just gorgeous 🗻

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Glad you enjoyed it, Steve. I totally agree. I don't know why but I love watching the bore tide! The reflection was spectacular and that doesn't happen often (sunny, clear and no wind).

[@dougorlando1074]

that looked like a hard hike, congratulations you did it. The views were great!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks, Doug. I was looking forward to my "redemption hike" for 6 weeks...Sondra not so much! It was so cool and beautiful.

[@annegibson6072]

It looks like what you might imagine the surface of the moon to look like

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

I think to a certain extent you are correct, Anne. Possibly Mars as well in come areas. It was a cool experience and a beautiful area.

[@PhotoAlbert]

I'm wondering how far, or maybe how long are those surfers able to ride that Bore Tide?

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Not sure but I think there were a few that rode it about 1/4 mile or so.

[@bobbihanratty8792]

Love all your pictures!!!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@krisklopf1901]

What a smooth ride the surfers had! So cool!

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Very nice... but they only get one chance, Kris! 😆

[@scottmichaels12]

Okay, I’ll ask. What is the deal with the Whataburger cups? Did you guys own a Whataburger franchise and you have lots of left over cups? I’m sure you’ve explained it but I’m new here. Thanks.

[@bigtruckbigtravels]

Great question, Scott. We did not own a franchise nor are we sponsored by Whataburger. We used to live in Texas and I really like the food. Sondra tolerates it, she does like the chicken and the Patty Melt. She really enjoys Diet Coke out of a foam cup. So, once in a Whataburger about 7 years ago, we asked the manager if we could purchase some cups. He gave them to us but asked that we send him pics of a Whataburger cup in front of some notable places we've visited. He shares it with the staff and they get a kick out of seeing the cup by Crater Lake National Park or Yellowstone or Rocky Mtn National Park, etc... We've sent him 100's of pics. Pretty funny.

[@scottmichaels12]

I’m not saying that I couldn’t sleep at night, but this has been a burning question for me. I live in Oklahoma so I’m very familiar with Whataburger and I do enjoy a double with cheese every now and then. Their burgers have an excellent flavor! That’s a very cool story. Thanks for solving the mystery for me.😁

[@pvdogs2]

@@bigtruckbigtravels They should sponsor you!! We don't have Whataburger in Canada; but, we really want to try one of their burgers now.
