All 8 Alaska National Parks RANKED 

The whole state could be a national park. I have a trip to NYC planned and wish it was Alaska. The good news is, I get to see Niagara Falls again.

This is pretty awesome!! You put the final frontier all together in one video!! For me who hasn't been to Alaska yet Katmai may be #2 followed by Denali. Ranking lake Clark #2 has definitely piqued my interest in it.

Definitely need to do a fjord cruise at kenai fjords. That’s where you’ll get the stunning views.

Denali. It looks phenomenal visually and hopefully I get the opportunity to visit it at some point in my life so I can see it with my own eyes. I doubt I have the skills to get to the top but it would be fun to hike at such a beautiful place even if it was easy trails in comparison.

Really appreciate this video Eric. Very useful n informative. Can you make a short video on how to access all of these - which airports are closer etc. And info on where to get the national parks passport stamp facilities are as most of the parks are remote and when we take a flight tour over the park, how do we get to see the visitor center etc. Thanks in advance.

I've only been to 2 of Alaska's NP's, Denali and Kenai Fjords. I've seen a lot of bear fishing videos from Katmai. I LOVED Kenai Fjords, and you missed the best part by not going out on one of the 6-8 hour long cruises that sail into the fjords. I thought it was marvelous. A lot of the allure of Denali comes down to whether you can see the mountains (it is frequently overcast) or a lot of animals. We saw neither and we spent 3 days there. Kenai is in my USA Top 5, Denali is not. Katmai looks like fun.

Great videos. What camera do you use? I will be going to Alaska summer 2024 and visiting Denali, Lake Clark and Kenai Fjords NPs. I want to get a new camera to capture the Parks. Thanks.

I’m a big fan of you channel and through your videos I am planning a trip to Alaska. I’m thinking of a 12 day trip split between Lake Clark and Denali. I didn’t know if this is the right amount of time or if I should do one or the other on a separate trip. Any advice you can offer would be wonderful. Thanks again for the great content!

Hey Ranger! Can you talk about the Junior Ranger badges ? Thanks 😁

College Fjiord isnt a national park but is mind blowing... its like glacier bay but better and from our cruise ship we saw a grizzly bear, seals, whales, orcas, porpoises, and otters along with getting within .3 miles of a huge glacier. Mendenhall is also insane

I think they should turn tongass national forest into a national park. Because of the deforestation 🌳

This is sick. Makes me sad that these are some of the least accessible parks in the US. But good to know it will be worth it when I make it someday

You have only scratched the surface of KFNP by only visiting Exit Glacier. You have to do the glacier cruise. Though be hard to beat out your top 3.

I’m not gonna go here for a while since tickets cost arm and leg

My List 8 Katmai ( Fairly Rated ) 7 Kobuk Valley ( Overrated ) 6 Lake Clark ( Underrated ) 5 Gates of the artic ( Overrated ) 4 Kenai Fjords ( Fairly rated ) 3 Glacier Bay ( Underrated ) 2 Denali ( Overrated ) 1 Wrangel St Elias ( Underrated )

I love Enduro Automatic 😍

Denali is actually overrated. I’ve been there twice, but it’s the same scene repeating again and again. You put it at 1 just because you like mountains lol. Clark and KF are WAY better

Hmmm what do we do with the state that has no roller coasters? OH idea. Rank the thing that makes up for their lack of coasters.

Could you make your ranking system a bit more subjective? The word "I" was not used nearly enough in this, or your other videos.
