A 4 day bikepacking adventure through Denali National Park, Alaska.
Three weeks into our journey cycling from Alaska to Argentina, we knew we had to spend a few days exploring Denali National Park. Learning of a recent landslide we sparked a plan to push our bikes five miles around it and reconnect with the now disused road on the other side. What ensued was an adventure neither of us will ever forget, it was like exploring a national park after the apocalypse, and we even had some up close encounters with the native Grizzly bears! I hope you enjoy the video.

About
In July 2022, we set off from the very top of Alaska on our bicycles, with the aim of spending the next few years cycling all the way down to the southern tip of Argentina - the entire length of the Americas. We are definitely not in any rush, and often opt to take the scenic, more remote routes where possible. Neither of us are cycle touring or bikepacking experts, but we are figuring all of that stuff out as we go. If you would like to follow along, please consider subscribing!

I like how bears make puppy faces when somebody unexpectedly yells at them, like dogs when they know they’ve done something wrong.

@GregMcCahon Год назад

I felt so bad, it looked so disappointed that we didn't want to play. The politest little bear ever 😭

@JLundegaardify Год назад

Hey you two. I’m glad I caught this so early in your journey. I love this idea and love the content. This is very exciting for me. One suggestion though (and please don’t take this as a criticism): I think something truly serene about bikepacking is how long you get to sit in the environment. The world is there for you to live in and experience. I mention this because I wish some of your shots were presented for longer. The cuts seem to happen very quickly from one shot to the next, and I wish we had more time to sit with what you have experienced, too. Thank you kindly for making these. I look forward to seeing more of your journey!

I know you still have a looooong way to go until you reach South America, but if you stumble upon Perú hmu, and I can can happily help you with recommendations or anything you might want to know about the country along your route. For me the bicycle is the most noble vehicle and what you’re doing here is a very noble journey. So as a biker myself, I hope everything turns out right for the rest of your trip, best wishes and have a nice day!

We use to call those moss berries. They only start becoming sweet after the first frost. Last time I was in Denali was in 1983. I kayaked from the foot of the Chilkoot trail in Lindemine City in northern British Columbia to Circle City in Alaska. I got to Denali by train. I spent a couple of years working on the Chilkoot trail back in '72 and '73 where I got the idea for that trip. Looks like you had a lot of fun with that the Gizz didn't eat you.
