EPIC Adventure in The Last Frontier | HIKING 40 Miles in DENALI, Kenai Peninsula and MORE

This video documents my EPIC week long adventure in Alaska back in 2021, where Maggie and I backpacked in the Kenai Peninsula, Chugach National Forest, and Denali National Park. This includes a compilation of various videos I've already posted, but completely re-edited from scratch, along with additional footage of Kenai Fjords National Park and Denali. The previously unseen Kenai footage includes a boat tour that took us into the heart of the Fjords, where we saw Humpbacks, Sea Lions, Puffins, Orcas, Sea Otters and more! Backpacking in Alaska was a dream come true. We hiked over 40 miles in some of the most beautiful, rugged, and wildlife rich landscapes that can be found anywhere on Earth. This trip in Alaska was the best one we ever took, and we even saw the Northern Lights from the Denali night sky!
I always like to give a shout out to my inspirations, such as Joey Coconato from My Own Frontier, as well as @longwildernesswalks, @survivormanlesstroud and @kraigadams. I always like to incorporate various elements from some of my favorite creators into my videos. In this case, it's all hardcore backpackers!

Great video. That noise you heard during your first night in Denali was a cow elk. That is a common sound during the rut. Epic trip - thanks for sharing!

[@mikewanders]

Thanks so much!! I’m wondering if maybe a cow caribou makes that sound. Bc there are no elk in Denali, but lots of caribou. Thanks for watching!!

Epic.
No bugs?
Amazing weather overall, seemed like the rain could have been worse.
Thanks!

[@mikewanders]

Thank you! The rain DEFINITELY could’ve been worse. It was supposed to rain the entire week and then it just kept holding off until the last couple days. No bugs! This was in early September which is peak fall for Alaska.

I hope you have a good, powerful weapon seeing you forgot the bear spray. I can't imagine that you didn't bring anything to protect you and your wife from grizzly bears.
