Turnagain Arm | Alaska’s Best Kept Secret [S1-E9]

[@chuckwalla2967]

Few decades ago, it would've been unfathomable to think that individuals would be able to create products of this high quality.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

That is an awesome compliment - thank you!

[@joesamp908]

Loved this episode. I’ve been to Girdwood twice. My wife’s uncle is a Stained Glass Artist living there. If you went to the Double Muskie restaurant you saw his work.

[@LarryAnderson-jx7xv]

I have lived in Hope for 47 years. Thank you for the wonderful photography and taking me on hikes that I am too old for now. I came for a weekend visit and have never left. The beauty of the Arm makes life worth living.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thank you so much for these kind words, and for coming along with us on these adventures. We absolutely understand about being captured by the beauty of the Arm. It’s an amazing place.

[@alexjohnsom7378]

Larry i love hearing from people like you I think the only people that get it. Nature is the only reason life is all worth it to me too. You're awesome. And these two are something out of a dream , this is better then any movie or show I have ever seen...the way they capture nature, it really feels like you are there . And they are such humble kind people i wish them all the very best things, and to you too

[@homeandgardendiy6363]

Phenomenal. Stunning. Mesmerizing. Gotta pull out all the superlatives for a place that astoundingly gorgeous. Beautifully filmed, narrated engagingly and accompanied by perfect music throughout. Thank you for one of the most pleasant and interesting half hours I have spent in awhile. New sub! 😍

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Wow, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!

[@homeandgardendiy6363]

You're most welcome. Well deserved praise. 🙂

Thank you!! It really means a lot to hear that. So happy you are enjoying all the adventures!

[@roncarguy72]

Another amazing episode. Thank you for that wonderful journey to Hope point.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Glad you enjoyed it!! What we didn’t put in the video was that we were sore for days after, hahahah 😆😆

[@alexjohnsom7378]

I just cannot thank you guys again for making these videos ..there really is nothing in this world that captures the spirituality of nature like you guys do You guys go to Native villages to give them a voice and you guys are humbled by them . I just love you guys thank you so much for making all this

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so happy you are enjoying our videos 😊

Thank you, Percy!

[@acnlelis]

Cora, the way you put me in the places you show is very impressive! I feel like i'm traveling with you. You're an amazing story teller!!! Besides, there's a lot to learn from each video. Geology with Cora is a wonderful idea - love it!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thank you, Andrea! 😃 So so so happy you are enjoying the episodes!

[@李德躍]

what a epic journey

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Alaska is quite an amazing place, right?!?

[@AlaskatrazFPV]

I just found your video, and love it! I have lived along Turnagain Arm for over 10 years, and I agree that it is one of the most amazing places on earth. I have published many videos from the area that show many of the areas you mentioned, but it is so nice to have a story like yours to add depth, and background to the dramatic beauty of this area.

[@washingtonbob49]

The Turnagain Arm is breathtaking! Your video and photo work is unsurpassed and the music is so wonderful as well! Alaska has a hold on me and I will return again next Spring to visit with the amazing woodcarvers of Ketchikan once again...to learn and to carve. Thanks you so much for your wonderful videos...they simply bless me!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Hey Bob! Oh, we are so happy you enjoyed this most recent sojourn into Alaska! Maybe next year as we leave Alaska we will have the opportunity to visit Ketchikan. The whole region south of Skagway is still unexplored by us! We hope hope hope it can work out that we can make it over there - it sounds amazing!

[@edwardmiller6353]

Wow, what an amazing video! Great narration, too! Thanks!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@RedSmitty]

I was there 4 days ago, this was a great video to watch, I liked the Geology Time. I saw the bore tide, surfers and Belga Whales.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Oh awesome! We were just there parked in our favorite camping spot in Portage Valley 🏔️🏔️

[@teymurakhundov1006]

Wow! Just wow! I put the Turnagain Arm on my bucket list!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Hurray!!! You will LOVE it!

[@burninoutloud]

An epic view no matter where you look. Thanks for the great video!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Couldn't agree more! Glad you got to catch a glimpse of it :)

[@brenda9990]

Your videos are just magnificent. I am so impressed. I’m a former Alaskan and lived in Kodiak for over 20 years. I’m now in New England but I miss it and Alaska will always have a place in my heart. Thank you for taking me back there and for showing me some of the places I never did get to Love your videos.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

That's so awesome to hear from a fellow Alaskan! We're glad we could help you relive your time there. 🙂

[@ArtWeThereYet]

🎉POLL TIME!🎉 Would YOU surf the bore tide?

[@burninoutloud]

It seemed tame compared to a wave at the beach but the cold waters would not be fun. I enjoyed watching it, though. Amazing experience!

[@RedSmitty]

I'd try.

[@nosoupforyou4307]

I’ve done it many times. I was the first person to surf it back in the 90’s. Everyone told me not to and told me I was going to die😂😂😂

[@danduncan9459]

This the best travel documentary I have ever seen. Great job.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Wow, thank you!

[@ClearVibe]

Thanks for showing us the beauty of my fav place to live. Good ol’ G’wood! Love your views and info of this majestic masterpiece of Gaia. ❤

[@PulpParadise]

That sunset, wow! Thank you for another stellar Alaska video!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Aww thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@beckyboulo4379]

what beautiful footage! I lived there many years but never seen the Turnagain like this. Thanks for all your wonderful knowledge and videos. It is sad how much the glacier receded. In the 80's you could literally see the glacier and touch the ice flow from the shore of the lake!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Yes, it's staggering to think of how quickly Portage Glacier has receded. Just this winter, we walked out onto the ice all the way to the glacier. We had never seen it before, as it is now so far back you have to round the mountain to see it. 😥

[@lonniezuccaro3195]

Another amazing video! I grew up here (Alaska) and love what you teach in each one. Hope we see you next year in Homer.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Yay!! So happy you guys are along for the ride, and can't wait to meet you next spring!

[@allisoncapps1107]

I'm from Alaska, 3rd generation Anchorage, and this was a fabulous video with both accurate history and great perspective! Thank you !!

Drove the arm twice last week. Wish I had seen your video 1st! One of the most beautiful drives in the USA

[@ArtWeThereYet]

It really is!!!

[@edgarmichael3276]

Wow! I have always loved science. From biology chemistry astronomy almost every type of science. Except geology just rocks as I called it until now. I want to learn rock types and understand earth's movements. Cora you make it real. So amazing the same fascination I find with other genres of science . I have been binge watching your videos since I discovered your channel they are magical. I have to give up a you tuber to put yours in my rotation. So long Kara and Nate. Thank you for bringing me magic this winter season.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Wow! this is one of the best compliments we have gotten in a while! It makes us so happy to know you enjoyed the geology segment! Thank you so much for watching and supporting our Channel! Sorry Kara and Nate 😆

[@EarlMarket]

Drove down to Seward yesterday from Anchorage. We seen your skoolie parked at one of the pull outs on the Seward highway. We thought it was neat seeing your Skoolie after seeing it so many times on KZbin.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Oh that’s so cool! Thanks for watching our videos and being on the journey with us!

[@udittiwari6142]

True work of Art!! I was exploring for details on bamff & jasper when I tumbled upon your channel & couldn’t stop myself from watching back to back. Right from the name to the content, from editing, narration to music everything is so artful (rare on KZbin). It’s a proper professional work of travel production. Being an Indian and exploring Himalayas from last few years I took Alaska as a touch & go destination, but the way you have shown now its definitely in my bucket list for longer exploration.

[@ricklarson114]

Another great video! I can't imagine how often you two must have to backtrack to get all those awesome video shots of those hikes!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thank you! and yes, we do backtrack a lot, it's the only way we can get those shots. A hike that takes 3 hours can easily takes us the entire day😆

Hi Cora and Jose. My wife and I have been loving your videos since we stumbled upon them while researching our next adventure to Banff and Jasper (yours are our favourite videos we have seen so far btw). So much so that the next program we watch as a couple won't be on Netflix or normal TV but 'Halibut' that you just released the other day. For the KZbin algorithm you may have this comment and my first ever KZbin 'like'. (We are already subscribed). Keep the videos coming.

Thank YOU for watching and being on the adventure with us, Tom!

[@blacksprucecabinak]

Epic video. Perspective is funny. We saw the Turnagain ice tide and we're creeped out. We went as far as Girdwood and went back. It felt so creepy. It was very cloudy outside so it felt like living in a black and white movie.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Isn't that interesting?! For us, the first time we saw it, we didn't even realize it was moving until we stopped the car. We were traveling in the same direction, and so it just looked like the arm was covered in stable ice. Then we pulled over and all of a sudden we could see the motion of it, and it was SO TRIPPY!!!

[@blacksprucecabinak]

@@ArtWeThereYet Trippy is a pretty good description. Lol

Hey youngin’s, Rev. Paul, Eustis Florida. What in this world would stop the melting?? In just a day1/2…. A massive volcanic eruption, a Little Bit Bigger than Honga Tonga. I also lived through the 1964 earthquake largest ever in N. America if you would like the 5 min and 15 seconds of it and what transpired after just ask…. :)

[@ArtWeThereYet]

It must have been a harrowing experience to live through the 64 quake

[@jimgreen5788]

Art We There Yet--for the record, and for the benefit of those not familiar with AK's geography, the Chukchi and Beaufort seas are both part of the Arctic Ocean--USA's 3rd. ocean.

[@user-smalltownAK]

..the automatic 'closed captions' have issues, with local proper nouns and place names; so that should be corrected before anyone who either needs to read them (correctly) or chooses to turn volume down, if their partner may be sleeping, etc; or maybe they are deaf and have few choices to begin with.. .."the tournament arm bore tide" @ 2:39 is one example, of captions gone wrong.. Otherwise the video content is generally OK; but the scenery is only so-so, because I've commuted most seasons in this area, have taken still frame images of high quality.. developed own films, (now use a bit of digital) and lived in small towns on the far end of Seward Highway near mile zero; giving me an advantage tourists just aren't going to get, a few days per decade.. Thanks for a nice perspective. Best regards and safe travels! ~ small town AK-USA 🇺🇸❄🌿☃🐟🐻🍄🌦

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Yes, KZbin's automatic captions have a lot of errors. Unfortunately, manually creating/editing captions takes about 4 hours per video, which is time we just can't put in.

[@benmalatin5237]

Just FYI unless you really seriously know what you’re doing, DO NOT GO WALKING OUT ON THE MUD FLATS. I live in Anchorage and I swear just about every year I hear about somebody who goes out there, gets stuck in suck mud (which is basically quicksand), then dies when high tide comes. Every time I hear about it my first thought is, “what were they thinking going out there?”. I learned at a very early age to respect & fear suck mud so it seems crazy to me that people go out there without knowing better. AK is an incredibly beautiful state, I highly recommend going on hikes ANYWHERE OTHER THAN THE MUD FLATS.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Agree 100%. It’s crazy how many people ignore the signs.

[@Harold710]

I remember when that young girl got stuck in the mud up to her waist and the EMS couldn’t get her out. Tragic

[@alpine.tarzan]

the best kept secret? it's literally the most popular area in the entire state lol

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Well for folks who know….but we have found that a lot of visitors want to head straight to Denali thinking that is where it’s at..not realizing how flipping bonkers cool Turnagain Arm is!

[@roadtripmitch]

This would be a 10 min video about Turnagain Arm without the history lesson, just overwrought.. btw every YT channel does AK glaciers, just saying. Safe Travels.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Too bad you don’t like history or geology and sorry you have to see another Alaskan glacier, they just have too many glaciers here, it’s very hard not to include one in our videos! 😂🤣
