Thank you so much for showing ,my hometown for the latter half of my life. It's beautiful and rugged yet peaceful views, nature and our quaint town ! Best video, I've seen put on UTUBE!! Of course, all your videos are the best !! 😍🤩😊 Cora, love your ASMR voice !! You made the scary zipline seem calming !!😮😊 Love ya'll and all that you are sharing on your amazing journey through life !! ❤😊 So happy you got the plane tour.😍 Haven't done that yet. So that would be the one for me.
Hey Sheila! Yay!! So happy you enjoyed the episode! We have a lot of love for Talkeetna and hope that shines through :) @@sheilakaropchinsky6598 Funny you mention ASMR - we keep getting comments about my voice being calming, so we at some point hope to open a second channel of guided meditation videos. :)
Thank you so much for once again bringing Alaska to us. I love Dallas Seavey's Dog Tours...I have had the opportunity to hang out with Dallas and his family and learn so much about the dogs and get an incredible ride in the woods with them. As a musician I sincerely appreciate your music choices and exposing the world to the music that is available in Talkeetna. You guys are simply amazing...blessings on you both.
Hey Bob! Wow, that must have been a pretty amazing experience to hang out with Dallas! And thanks again for the kind mention of the music curation. We recognize how important the music is to telling the story and spend just about a day's worth of work on music selection alone. So thank you for appreciating that!
Great content and narration! I have been to Talkeetna and enjoyed the air tour of Denali. It is like you said: " No words to describe it!" The majesty and beauty of the mountains and glaciers makes you feel really small! I would highly recommend it.
Right?!?! I remember when I was in the plane, feeling the vast difference between the footage we were capturing and the experience of looking at it with my own eyes. Just a world of difference. It is something you truly must experience in person. So happy you had the opportunity to do so as well!
More proof this is a magical place. In a way time has stopped here and the people, places and landscapes are much like they were 100 or so years ago. This series could go on forever ;-)
My wife and I visited Talkeetna in the summer of 2014. It was the highlight of the trip for me, and seemed to be the most realistic of what I expected Alaska to be. It resembles the small town depicted on the TV series, Northern Exposure. From what I have heard, Talkeetna was originally supposed to be the town where they filmed, but it was too cold in the winter for the actors. I also heard the actors were based on real people who lived in Talkeetna. I could see myself spending summers there.
Oh that's so interesting - we didn't know that about Talkeetna originally being the filming location for that series. You know what...you might be pleasantly surprised to find that you would love Talkeetna even MORE in the wintertime. That's when the Sheldon Arts Hanger really gets cooking with awesome event after awesome event. Everything quiets down and folks just hunker in and focus on their projects and community building. And there's nothing like a night at the Fairview, band playing away, everyone dancing, as feet of snow build up outside...
Simplemente ¡¡¡IMPRESIONANTE!!! Muchííísimas gracias por mostrar tanta Belleza, la grandiosidad de esa maravillosa tierra te deja con la boca abierta. Impacta tanta hermosura, paisajes rotundos, ríos, bosques, glaciares, montañas, gentes, costumbres....Como siempre os deseamos lo mejor de todo lo mejor y esperamos que vuestra salud os acompañe siempre!!! ¡Que tengáis unas fiestas de Navidad preciosas ! Un fuerte abrazo queridos amigos de Trini y mío!
Muchas gracias Luis, que bueno que disfrutaste este video. Talkeetna siendo un pueblo chico es muy lindo y tiene mucho que ofrece. Felices fiestas amigo, esperamos que tengan una linda Navidad. Un fuerte abrazo para los dos y nuestros mejores deseos para el nuevo año que esta a la vuelta de la esquina.😊
Thank you very much for taking us to your wonderful and amazingly journey, your videos feels like I’ve been to this places your walls murals are awesome take care kept on travelling ❤🇨🇦
Another wonderful gift to your followers! Thank you! I love your photography, your music selection, and your composition. Excellent work. My wife and I live in Virginia, but we have been to Talkeetna twice, on visits to see our son and his family who live in Alaska. I look forward to your next adventure!
No, unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate either trip. But, we plan on returning in August so we will give it another try! In the meantime, thank you for all of your wonderful adventures. Your presentations make me feel that I am sitting beside you along the way! FYI, my son and his family live in Palmer and they love Alaska. @@ArtWeThereYet
My life-partner and I have been following you for the past 6 months. Thank you so much for your videos! We love travelling ourselves, but with the war here in Israel (and having to take care of our geriatric parents), our options are very limited. Your channel enables us to live out our roaming fantasies vicariously and one day, perhaps we might bump into each other somewhere on planet Earth!
This really means the world to both us to read this kind message. We're so happy you stumbled upon the channel, that you both are on the journey with us, and that it is providing some escape in tough times. What you are doing for your parents is so important and a blessing to them. Stay safe over there. Sending a huge hug from Alaska. ❤️
I've taken the Mahay's Jetboat tour several times in Talkeetna. Last time we also had Israel as our captain. Cool to see the legacy pass on from his dad and Devil's Canyon. Talkeetna is a fun town. I love the Talkeetna museum. I've never done zip lining there. I've done it in Denali and other areas. It's just meh to me. Denali Brewing pizza and cocktails are my favorite there. Yay for showcasing it. I also recommend Talkeetna Gear Shop for renting bikes. I recommend taking the Alaska Railroad Hurricane Turn train that's a roundtrip ride from Talkeetna and about 6 hours. It turns around at Hurricane Gulch and you get to meet people who have whistle stop cabins along the route. And if you go in July you'll see salmon from the train swimming upstream. I think it's an amazing train trip mostly because it's a roundtrip and affordable at around $120pp versus many of the other one way trips at $400+/pp Y'all definitely had the full Talkeetna experience. Definitely come back up in the winter. You can sign up to bake pies at the Talkeetna Roadhouse.
These are awesome recommendations! I hope some folks see this and consider the train. We are hoping to maybe do the aurora train this winter and make an episode out of it. It all comes down to time! So little of it!
We flew with Doug in1990 from Talkeetna with my parents around Denali for 90 minutes. Crystal clear. My Mother compared it to the “E”ride at Disney World [near where we have lived since 1961]. Loved the Family reunion in Wasilla with 50+ cousins!!!
Jack London is my favorite writer. I’ve read every book he wrote and so many of them are about Alaska. Gracias for this fascinating trip through some of Alaska’s vibrant history!👏👏👏👏👏
What a wonderful video ❤ We are RVing to Alaska for tge 2024 season and cannot wait to experience it. We visited Oct 2022 for 2 weeks and knew we must come back to for more Alaska
The adventure you are sharing with Anthony is life changing. We are having our two sons and daughter-in-law this August when we are in Alaska. We are using this video to plan our time around Talkeetna later this year. This video opened up our eyes since our visit in October 2022 was after season. We did see Denali and the Northern Lights. The flight is likely going to be our cherry on the top, too.
SO excited you are also going to be able to share Alaska with family. It is truly a special place to share, and we feel so grateful we've been able to get some family and friends up here to experience it with us. ENJOY!!! And that's amazing you saw BOTH Denali and the Northern Lights on your last trip. That's incredible!
Sensational…as usual. As I’ve said before, you two do some amazing work together. Not just because I’m headed to Alaska next year. BUT all your stuff is excellent! Hope you guys can feel the love. Hope to see you on the road someday.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoy our work. And oh my gosh, have so much fun in Alaska next year! We might just see each other somewhere on the road. We'll be in the state until late Junish.
Excellent adventure and your commentary was clear and convincing. That town Talkeetna is truely a GEM of the Alaskan North and was glad that I just picked Youtibe to drop in for my research on the area. Is this area famous for the Mount Hays UFO SIghtings I hear so much about? Is this area within the Alaskan Triangle?
Hey! So happy you enjoyed our video and that it's helping with your research. Are you planning to visit Talkeetna? If so, you'll love it! We're not sure about the Mount Hays/Triangle question..
Hey there! You'll have to reach out to Jason and ask, as his prices can change by the season (depending on fuel costs, etc). He took us out for our scenic flight in an exchange we did with the community of Talkeetna. We did a mural project with the community (Episode 7 shows that project), in which we covered the cost of paint and materials, and some companies in the area took us on tours as a way to in-kind sponsor the cost of the paint/materials for that community project.
🎉POLL TIME!🎉 If you had to choose just ONE TOUR, which one do you choose? Why?
That's a tough question. I would choose the plane ride ❤
Thank you so much for showing ,my hometown for the latter half of my life. It's beautiful and rugged yet peaceful views, nature and our quaint town !
Best video, I've seen put on UTUBE!! Of course, all your videos are the best !! 😍🤩😊

Plane ride with a glazier landing. (Next time 🙂)That perspective is mind blowing.
Good choice :)@@ramonag8496

We stayed in Talkeetna for 1 night, 2 days. It's a wonderful gem of a town
Isn't it?!? We love Talkeetna. So happy you had the opportunity to visit!

Amazing river tour and such a great soundtrack choice :D

Aw that’s so sweet! Working on Episode 17 as we speak 😊🎬
Any of them. I want to go!
Exactly! Any of them!!
That's the spirit!
Wow, the views are incredible. Any consideration to create music or a song based on the awe of the trip around the Alaskan range?
Funny you should ask that, Ron! I actually just finished my first song in quite a while, titled "Alaska"... :)
Hi there. How much was the flightseeing tour? Their website does not list pricing. Thank you
