Our FIRST time in DENALI National Park! (Savage Alpine, Mount Healy, sled dogs, & Horseshoe Lake)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มิ.ย. 2024
- For our first stop in Alaska we’re at Denali National Park! Denali (formerly known as Mount McKinley) is the highest mountain peak in North America, at 20,310 feet and gets its name after a Koyukon Athabascan word that means “The Great One.” In this video we bring you along as we explore the first 15 miles of Denali National Park over a couple days, which is the only part of the park that you can visit in your own personal vehicle.

For those who think we are saying Denali wrong, we used the following videos (among other sources) from credible people for the pronunciation we used: www.nps.gov/dena/learn/historyculture/legend-of-denali.htm (from Chief Mitch Demientieff) & th-cam.com/video/r7C8wDsnLP0/w-d-xo.html (former Mayor of the Denali borough).

As an Alaskan, you are ABSOLUTELY saying Denali correctly. Us locals cringe when we hear people pronounce it “Den-awly”! 😂😂 I was actually relieved to hear an outsider pronounce it correctly like you guys did. Catching glimpses of this mountain even from Anchorage is an awesome sight to see! My sons middle name is McKinley, named after this mountain. I’m a new subscriber and your videos are so well done and represent the state I love so much in such a beautiful and adventurous way! Happy trails!
Thank you, we are glad to get a local's stamp of approval on the pronunciation. We try very, very hard to say things correctly and quite a few people (who we gather aren't even from Alaska) have tried to rip us for our pronunciation. Thank you for the kind words about the videos, we appreciate you watching! We LOVE your state, it is insanely gorgeous!
Thank you for taking the time to share your travel stories in such a genuine way and care for the love of nature and the people you encounter.
We’re thankful and grateful we can share! Thank you and thanks for watching!
Also in the 30% club! It seems like the morning is the right time; we had a clear view from the bus tour on July 8. I did go up to the top of Mount Healy, but couldn't see Denali from there. Instead I saw a rainstorm in the area as the mountains generate their own storm system! (I had a similar thing happen on Flattop Mountain.) But instead of getting rained on, there was a rainbow on the descent, which was awesome. By July 8, the bridge over the Savage River was fully assembled, and I was able to hike on the other side of the river. Otherwise I did the same thing you did: I combined Savage Alpine with Savage River and took the bus back. Thank you for helping me relive all of this! I even went to that Subway. :)
Ya we felt so lucky to see it on our first day in the park! We noticed when we did the Mount Healy Overlook that those mountains in the distance always had rain clouds over them. There was a stretch of that road that runs next to the park that was under construction and that stretch was always under a rain cloud the several times we drove it!
Wow they got that bridge done fast!
That was fortunate! I felt freed up after I saw Denali my first morning during the bus tour. There were some clouds around it in the afternoon when I did Savage Alpine/River, but I still managed one decent photo. The bus driver had predicted the clouds. If you get a good bus driver at Denali, they can usually give you some good tips on seeing Denali for that day's weather.
They weren't messing around with the bridge! I just looked at two photos I have of it, and it certainly looks like fresh construction. :)
Yeah you’ll know when you see it! Proudly in the 30% group as well… Denali is majestic 🏔
Woohoo! Yes it is!
Kona’s like, “I smell that someone else has been with you!” Another excellent video guys! Wow you truly deserved those ice creams what a hike absolutely beautiful! ~Cara 😊
haha yes she did! Our first time in Denali was spectacular! Thanks!
I moved from Dallas Texas to Anchorage AK in 2019. First week was Alaska Rail Road ride all week. Stopped at Denali and took a 8 hour ride to Denali. Simply Amazing. Hey don't forget to visit a glacier or two. I did the dog sled, river raft, salmon fishery, saw eagles and lots more. Have fun.
That's an awesome trip! We would love to ride the railroad sometime! We'll be visiting probably around 10 glaciers. We're super excited!
Thank you for sharing Denali with us!!! CONGRATULATIONS in becoming a member of the 30% Club! What a wonderful club to belong! The dogs were so cute.
It feels good to be part of the club! The dogs were of course one of our favorite things about the park!
thank you for sharing so much beauty take care of yourselves enjoy and signs sharing more videos of your adventures
We're thankful and lucky we get to do what we do! Thanks, Jorge!
I really enjoy every video you share with your craziness God Bless you and protect you always
So happy you got to join the 30% club! Dad and I had a similar experience at Grand Tetons years ago when the sky dawned crystal clear on our last morning there.
Nice! It's always awesome when you finally get to see the big mountain you've been looking for!
Alaska makes you work for it, but the expanse is truly amazing and unique.
You got that right!
What a spectacularly amazing view and trip to Denali! I’m so excited and thankful that y’all became part of the 30% club. I can’t wait to go to Alaska & hope that we will get to see Denali in all it’s glory! I think the dogs were my favorite part though! We got to go dog sledding in Quebec City and spent time with those amazing dogs! They truly are the best! We even got to play with the puppies!! My heart was so full!!
The dogs were a huge highlight for us! Playing with the puppies would've been the major cherry on top! We hope to return in the winter one year to do a sled ride!
Awesome!!! So glad you guys got to show us Denali with good weather out! I really liked the dog mushing demo and the Horseshoe lake hike. Looking forward to more!
Also, if you are ever back near Tok, there is a really cool hike on the North side of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park called Skookum Volcano Trail, it is a unique spot in Alaska.
I don't know that we'll get back to the Tok area on this trip, but we will be that park later in our time here in Alaska!
We got really lucky with the weather in Denali! We felt very fortunate!
OH MY GOSH how beautiful is that area. Thx for sharing with me
It was incredible! Thanks for watching!
Wow this is truly stunning. Another national park added to my bucket list! 😍
Oh ya Denali should be up there! Thanks!
I have quite seriously looked into a trip to Alaska and realised early on how inaccessible many of the parks are unless you can afford the flights. When combining it with the need to rent a car and pay for accommodation, and the transatlantic flight, it's been put on our 'future trip' list up there with the likes of Japan, Namibia and Norway! I'd never heard of the 30% club in the opening sneak peek, I assumed it was something like only 30% of American's make it to Denali?! I was very wrong! 🤣 I love that the park has the free shuttle. The amount of times we've been to US NP's and at the visitor centre they've said if we're with someone else with a car... and with the exception of 1 sole day in Yellowstone when hiking wasn't on the cards, we never are! I loooooved the dog sled demo and how informative it was. Depending on how many people there were behind you though, I feel like the mic maybe wasn't needed! 🎤
Ya I can imagine that would be a pricey trip coming from over there! I guess that's why a lot of people take the ferry up and get bussed around to all the places they want to see. That would make it more affordable than having your own car, but it is almost always more worth it to have your own vehicle!
We love it when parks have shuttles! The dog sled demo was really informative and a ton of fun! The crowd was about 3 rows deep. They speaker probably could've gotten away without using the mic. It kept going in and out and we didn't have any trouble hearing her
If you can even find a rental car in the summer, you are going to be paying at least $200 per day
@@AdventuresofAplusK I think trying to get Andy to agree to a cruise and then a tour on a big bus at the other end would be a non-starter, though to be honest, the idea doesn't fill me with joy either! I'm happy to wait until we can afford to do it how we want to do it.
@@joeyindahl2593 I listened to a podcast Adam and Kathryn did ages ago where the host talked about how expensive car rental was in Alaska after COVID - was it always this high or is this still the 'after COVID' price? We've been stung this summer in Europe, after buying flights we were shocked to learn how much car rental is so are having to suck it up - but thankfully it's not Alaska prices!
What a trip of a lifetime, and those mountain views...wow.
Heck ya!
Just wow!
You guys' videos alway make me smile! Such a great series! Can't wait for the next one!
Thanks, Kevin! We're excited to share more!
Been waiting for a new video, been watching reruns! Thanks! Enjoy! Looking forward to the next!
We’re excited to share more soon! Thanks, Joseph!
What a great start to Alaska! Really looking forward to this series.
Thank you!
Amazing video and the mountains were so Beautiful. Love the dogs and cant wait for more😃
Thank you!
So cool you are able to see Alaska! I love seeing all the beautiful scenery! Enjoy!
It's been amazing so far!
Another great episode! Thanks
Simply amazing.
From start to finish your videos are the "Great Ones". 👍👍🏍🏍🏍🙋♂️
Woohoo! Thanks, John!
Congratulations!!! Such a beautiful park...love all the scenery and trails! The sled dog show was very interesting, how sweet were some of those dogs!! I'm so excited for you and can't wait to see more🙂
We could’ve spent all day with those doggos!
So cool. Loved it all!
Thanks, Richard!
Beautiful guys! So rugged, wild and epic. How awesome to have been given such a clear day on your arrival to the park! The Universe was smiling upon you...and us because we got to see it too!
We got so so lucky with the weather in the park! I flew the drone for the first time a couple hours ago…flies like a DREAM and looks so darn good! I am in love with it. And wow you’re right it is so much quieter!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Glad to hear it! Noise level is such a factor when flying a drone. The quieter it is, the more confidence and focus you have to line up your shot. The Air 2s feels like a Cadillac compared to the Air. It’s just so much more solid and powerful in the sky. The first time I launched mine I was like whoa 🤯
What a spectacular way to start your Alaska Adventure!! We were fortunate, as well, to be in the 30% club many years ago when we took our children to Denali. Alaska is so special!! Thanks again for the wonderful video!!
It feels good to be in the 30% club especially on the first visit! Thanks!
We are also a member of the30% club!! Alaska is a beautiful place and thanks for sharing your journey. Anxiously awaiting the next video. Safe travels!
We're loving it here! We're thankful we were able to join the club on our first visit
I love you'alls dance moves. Thank you for a wonderful video. I can't wait for your next one.
Gotta busta move! We're excited to share more! Thanks!
Your excitement is so contagious! We are living your adventure with you and enjoying every minute! So blessed to be sharing this wonderful adventure together🙏🇺🇸 Safe travels
We are lucky and thankful we get to do what we do! Thank you for watching!
Gorgeous views 🤩🤩
Wow! We know so many people that have been part of the 70% club! So glad you got to see Denali on such a beautiful day! The pictures of Denali were great….gotta love that lens!
We got really lucky! Thank you!
We LOVED this video! Such stumning views…wow❣️ How absolutely exciting that you were able to see Denali…what a beut❣️The dog sled demonstration was great and those pups were so cuuute! I bet Konie smelled them on you when you got back! That breakfast sandwich looked amazing…restaurant quality! All the dance moves made me smile a lot! Keep these great videos coming…safe travels…😘❤️❤️❤️🐶🥰
That mountain is gorgeous! We could’ve spent all day with those doggos!
Love from Ontario, Canada! Watched this beautiful video on our TV, as usual. Good to see you in an Alaskan national park. Well made video. There was joy all over. We loved your interaction with with Alaskan (race dog mixes) huskies. We will continue our travels with you.
We were so lucky with the weather and so thankful we got to see the mountain! We could've hung out with the dogs all day if they'd let us!
What outstanding memories!!!!
Rare air up there!!!
It was amazing!
Seeing Denali! What a joyful and wonderful event! I can’t wait to make my trek to Alaska 😍 🏔
It is truly a wonderful place! We hope you can make it!
Another fantastic video! So happy to have found your channel. You both bring such positive & inspirational joy to our lives. Excellent info & editing. It takes a tremendous amount of work to be a creator & you both kill it! Love u guys! 💜
We super appreciate the kind words and acknowledging the hard work we put into this! Thank you for watching and the support ❤️
Oh my gosh, I can't believe you guys are part of the 30% club! Awesome job planning to be flexible and going when the weather opened up. So smart. Also, the sled dogs were so stinking cute!
Great video guys, I can’t wait to see more of your videos in Alaska
We're excited to share! Thanks!
Yes, what a beautiful day to see Denali. I have seen many videos of folks going to see it and most do not see it. That was the best view I have seen.... Congrats on your timing....
We feel like we got really lucky seeing it on our first day in the park! Thanks!
Seeing the Great One is so special. We were backpacking there back in 2006 and the clouds cleared around 2 or 3 AM - quite impressive. Like seeing Mt Rainier for the first time on a clear morning from Seattle. Went on many work trips to Seattle before finally seeing it and it made me jump! Enjoy your Adventures in Alaska despite the rona challenges.
Ya we can see the similarities with Rainier too! Seeing it for the first time is breathtaking! After some rearranging of plans we thankfully didn't have to cut anything from our Alaska plans! Thanks, Lance!
I loved this one you guys!!! The editing, the information, the scenery! Always so happy to see another upload from you! I was just thinking about your Channel yesterday. 😃
Thank you so much!
Great video - loved those dogs!!!💕 Thanks for sharing your fun adventures.
The dogs were huge highlights!
Love those puppers!
This is another great video. The mountain views are magnificent! Very interesting. 🐝🌻🐕🇺🇸
We had a great time in the park and got so lucky to see the mountain!
Absolutely beautiful as ever!!! Love this footage
Thank you!
Oh you two, just when I didn’t think your videography skills, scenery, excitement, and adventures could get any better, then you post this one ! So fantastic you got to see Denali and that last hike was spectacular ! Best wishes from your Oregon Buddy.
You’re too kind, Mary! We were so lucky and thankful to see Denali! Thanks for watching!
really cool to see the wild life and landscapes i remember from my trip when i was a kiddo. so cool!
It’s such an amazing place!
Hey guys! Thanks so much for taking us along with you into the park! We were there early June and experienced many of the things you all did. Maybe next time we'll try some of the hikes. While we didn't see Denali from the park, we had perfect weather on the south side at Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge. There was hardly a moment you couldn't see it from so many different perspectives. Thanks again, and wishing you many more great adventures!
We got so lucky with the weather while we were there. We are so thankful we got to see Denali in the park! That's amazing you got to see it so much from the Lodge! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Adam, I loved your aptly named sandwich. :)
I thought it was pretty fitting! 😊
Another great video!! We visited 5 years ago, and your amazing videos make me want to return. We went to see the sled dogs also, so glad you got the chance to visit them. Looking forward to your next video!
The dogs were a huge highlight for us! Thank you so much!
Amazing sights! What a hike!
Yes it was! Thanks!
Great job as always. You two always deliver! Stay safe.
Thank you!
Beautiful country. Thanks for including us in your adventure. If you ever get tired of traveling you could do a food network show. You guys are awesome.
😂 that would be fun! Thank you!
Perfect weather! Awesome photography and scenery! OMIGOSH - the Denali pesto bagel sandwich!!
That sandwich was delightful! Thanks!
The funniest part of the whole video is always at the end when you guys dance it’s hilarious I love it! 😂
We love to dance!
I'm in the beginning stages of planning this trip for 2024 😊thanks for a great video.
Very nice great work Thank you for the adventure
Thanks, Chris!
I too am a member of the 30% Club. Lucked out during my visit to Denali NP in late July, 2012. My 2 month visit to Alaska was one of my top ramblin' highlights! Keep up the great videos and safe travels.
Woohoo! We’re glad we could join the club! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Yay A+K+K!!! I am soooo happy you were able to see Denali! It looked amazing. I loved the sled dogs. They were so sweet and it was great to see that they got to be loved on. Some of the movies I have watched make it look like they have really hard lives, but these dogs looked like they loved it!
We got so lucky with the weather! We could spend all day with those dogs! And yes they seemed really happy and treated well. They love to work hard
America! It can be inspiring and beautiful. It can also be dark and ugly. It’s soo many things, but it’s ours. It’s our America.
Beautiful. Loved it.👍😊💙
Thanks, Don!
Found you guys, been watching your older videos. Love the hikes you take, watching Kona do her thing, food not so much (makes me hungry). I'm so glad I found you. Thank You A and K!
Gotta bring a snack when you sit down to our videos 😂 we’re glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for watching!
Awesome!!! This is a destination we'd love to check out one day! Thanks for sharing :D
It’s a bucket list park! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing the 30% club. Those peaks were pretty impressive. Keep on keeping on! 😀👍
We're lucky to be part of the club!
What an awesome Sunday for us, we got to spend the day in Fredericksburg, TX enjoying some good food and shopping…now ending our night with Episode 1 of A+K&K’s new adventures. Nice job kicking those trails butts! Those weren’t just 13 ordinary miles…snickers ice cream well deserved, indeed!
Cheers y’all! 🏔🤙🏽🏁
Fredericksburg is a really fun town. We love going out there!
Woohoo! Those were some tough miles! Thanks!
Beautiful scenery.
Yes it is! Thanks, Carol!
Great Video!! I lived in AK from 2001 - 2007, dying to go back and these videos are really making me want to plan a trip. Thank you for sharing.
It has been so amazing up here! We know we'll be making many more trips here! Thanks for watching!
Great video! YAY! On getting to see Denali!! Woohoo 30% Club! Hoping to visit next year! Oh and the sled dogs were so cute! We visited one when we visited Skagway & Yukon and they had puppies and we got to hold them! One of the highlights of our trip! Can’t wait to see the rest!
We got really lucky with the weather! So glad we could join the club! Puppies would have been so amazing!
Epic!
Congrats on seeing Denail!
Thanks!
Adam I am putting in my preorder for your future cookbook since everything you make looks delicious 🤤
You’ll get the first copy! 😂
An you got to see Denali!! Was hoping you would. So fun. Plus dogs and ice cream? Classic.
We got really lucky! The dogs and ice cream were cherries on top!
Awesome video y'all! :) have lots of fun!
Thanks! We're having a blast!
Awesome! We visited Denali in 2019 as part of a cruse and land tour from Vancouver to Fairbanks. Some of the highlights were Denali NP, the Dog Sled demo, traveling into the park with NP bus and joining the 30% club seeing Denali in Full View from our hotel padio! It is an awesome area. So much to see. We are so glad you guys are able to enjoy it. You guys make it so much fun reliving it. However, we did not hike as much as you do! Looking forward to so much more of your adventure!
The park and mountain are so incredible! We had a blast and were so thankful for the weather we had! We're glad you had a great time as well! Thanks for watching!
You were blessed with good weather. I spent three days in the park and it was low overcast or raining. We did see the top of Denali many miles before the park. Took a raft trip on a rainy day with very little views and so cold even with a dry suit on. I want to visit again when I retire.
Yes we were very fortunate with the weather we had! A rafting trip sounds fun! We hope we can come back and do that some time
Thanks for the video. It is so beautiful there. Congrats on becoming part of the 30% club. We were there in May of 2016 and we saw it too.
That’s awesome! We got really lucky with the weather!
Awesome..I visited in February driving from Fairbanks
Snow covered and limited access hike
Thank you for the great video.
That would be an adventure! Thanks for watching!
You guys are the best. Keep it up!
Thanks, Richard!
Love that you got to see Denali! We saw it when we were on the train from Fairbanks to Denali! It's pretty breath taking. Bummer about the avalanche.
Yes it is breathtaking! We were so lucky with the weather we had! Yes the road closure is a bummer, but lucky there is still tons to do!
My wife and I did the savage river trail July 2nd and the bridge was repaired. Did the alpine trail the next day. Saw Denali all 3 days we were in the park. Great trip!
It's crazy how fast they got that bridge up! Wow all 3 days! That's awesome!
Congrats on making the 30% club! My brother used to joke that the mountain didn’t really exist until his 3rd visit this past May. Can’t wait until the next post!
haha we would have said the same thing! 😜
nice video for trailing Savage Alpine! thanks for sharing this video.
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Awesome! We are addicted!!!
Thank you!
The dancing always cracks me up. 😂
Dang! I need to get back to Denali. We visited in 2016 and it was great, but I didn't get to see the mountain or hike at all since we were on a tour. The sled dogs are soooo cute! Lots of wildlife there too!
Traveling at your own pace in your own vehicle is definitely the way to go if you can! Denali was spectacular!
Great video, I was just there with the family and you nailed the best stuff.
What an amazing place that is!
WOW! 📸 That thumbnail pic of you 2 with Denali in the background is EPIC! Happy, happy that you 2 are members of the 30% Club!👊🏼Adam, I’m making your ‘Denali” sandwich sometime soon!😛 Honestly, your videos keep getting me closer to booking that flight to Alaska! 🛫 That Horseshoe Lake Trail seems perfect for me!😅So excited for your next vlog! Stay safe. Hugs to Kona!🥰
The Horseshoe Lake Trail was super amazing! We were so lucky with the weather we had and so happy we were able to see the mountain! The sandwich was pretty darn good too! Book that flight!
Stunning is the word; been trying to get there for 45 years; something always came up; but I’m there with you😎😎😎😎😎👌👌👌👍👍
We're glad you could join us!
Lucky to SEE the Top of Mt Mckinley ! Was up in Alaska in the early 90's for four years and seen the Top of it ONCE !
We felt very fortunate for the weather we had!
Awesome. We were lucky to be a 30er in first visit. Would have loved to hike/backpack. Maybe another time. Thanks for sharing. Y’all are blessed.
It was amazing hiking and camping in the park! Thanks for watching, Chuck!
i met you on the mount Healy overlook trail, the German one, perhaps you remember, so great to see your video with all the places I have been too. Alaska is great! love it. Now I`m back in Germany since one week, that's not so great. Alaska is calling... i have to go! have fun and save travels!
Yes we remember you! It was so nice to meet you! We hope you had a great rest of your trip!
Congratulations 🎉👏🎉👏
Thanks, Kathy!
This brings back memories of my six week adventure in Alaska back in 2016. The itarod dog adventure was also a highlight. I talked to a few guys who ran that race before.
Another highlight I had in Denali was spending a weekend all the way up in Katishna. There was a bus that took you there and spotting for amazing sites and wildlife on the way was breathtaking. Love your videos. Hoping to get back to Alaska next summer.
That's awesome! We can't wait to get back there also!
I have hiked that trail before and you can most definitely keep going up!
Ya we figured you could. We were just sticking to the “official” trail was. Thanks for letting us know!
Hi thank you for sharing beautiful scenery and great hiking trails. Now its time to go salmon fishing. enjoy!!
I've done some fishing and caught a couple grayling and a rainbow! I don't think I'll be salmon fishing though. I don't have the correct gear for it I don't think. It's been a ton of fun fishing so far!
LOVE IT! So awesome you got to see Mt McKinley (I'm from McKinley's hometown of Canton, Ohio.... so we still call it that, LOL).
This whole trip has been amazing. You're not making it easier for me to be patient for our trip!!!
Denali was so awesome! You’re going to love it out there!
Beautiful
