Denali National Park // Riding the Park Road 

Matt: “That’s amazing” Danny: “Cool” Christoph: “I thought it would be bigger.”

Such an underrated channel, you guys are an inspiration!

Kinda watching during my zoom classes rn

When do you guys climb Denali? looks like some "nice" ski touring

"...Its like the Lord of the Rings out here" - I know these guys are obviously experienced and well traveled by this point but that comment really encapsulates the sheer beauty of sprawling mountain-scapes. As someone from the east coast, I grew up and spent most of my life pretty much blind to what a towering behemoth true mountains are. The Appalachian mountains have a beauty all their own, but I still remember the first time I saw what true mountains were when I first went on a cross country trek out west. There really is an almost fantasy vibe to them which throws you into that mindset of something like Lord of the Rings.

If you notice my google handle, I climbed Denali in 1996 and it remains one of the greatest experiences of my life. So glad you guys went and video’d this!!!

Guys, this might be my favorite MA video yet. As much as I like the mountain scrambles and skiing, this was super cool. Thank you for sharing.

I'm just surprised that 92 miles didn't turn into 254

Haven’t even watched yet, but I know this will be amazing.

Having one of the worst weeks of my life, so its relieving to know that for the next 28 minutes I will be distracted.

Thanks Danny...that was like a 30 minute vacation at my desk!

Denali is so so beautiful and hugeeeeeeeeeeeeee, worship the creator not the creation, great video guys.

Everyone: Elephant Matt: Elefunt

Real question is how do you find 3 good friends willing to travel and go on adventures with?

Half expected you to all run up Denali in your swimming trunks before breakfast.

My new favorite RU-vid channel - serious squad goals.

You guys have found the group, everyone is fantastic on camera, great chemistry. Keep up the great videos! I've been watching since the beginning and it has really improved, this is now peak Mediocre content! I will be tuning in for as long as you produce!

*Just got back from a Texas Hill Country Short hike.* My legs were sore, but coming down I acted like I summit'ed 3 mountains. 😂 I said out loud in a sacracistic voice to my friends " *Cleary I am not Mediocre, Nor an Amateur!* 🙄" Take Care & Safe Travels Everyone!

This is one of the most amazing videos you guys have done. Wow. That view of Denali is so worth the ride out there. Thanks so much for taking us along with you. 🤘👏

Awesome as always guys. Thank you so much for all of the great content your channel offers.

I really look up to you guys! Thanks for showing us how cool and fun all these adventures are. Such an inspiration!

Taking that road by bike is much better than by bus - trust me! Lived in Fairbanks for a decade....seeing this makes me homesick. Great video

It was exciting to see this episode popping up. Those bike carriers are really cool. I think this is the first time I am seeing a whole different category of scenery. 👍👍

Best video you guys have put out. The build up to the Denali view was perfect, keep doing your thing and keep inspiring

Keep up the great work, I love watching your videos.

Great stuff guys, what an epic ride! You are an inspiration! Thanks for sharing this with us!

The smile on Danny's face seeing Denali put a smile on mine. Good stuff guys!

So cool. My wife and I just got back from a week in Alaska yesterday. We lucked out and got sunny skies all 7 days. Glad you got to see Denali!

You guys are always on point. Very cool trip what an inspiration.

Crazy beautiful! Love Matt’s bear awareness. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

These videos are so underrated. Love to watch em all. Keep it up!

I have been to Denali several times but now I want to bike it. I love, love, love that mountain. Thank you!!

What a wonderful trip! I want to go there! You guys are awesome. Thanks for sharing your adventure!

Great video! Probably one of my all time favorites.

You guys are amazing, thanks for the diversion of vicarious living through all of your adventures! Keep on Truckin......

What an awesome adventure. So glad you guys got that view of Denali!

It's beyond me how this channel doesn't have about a million more subs...

Wow. Thank you for taking me along on this incredible adventure. I speak bikepacking and I can only imagine what the awe seeing Denali, alone, must have felt like.

Amazing.... love watching you guys!!❤️

Words can’t describe how badly I want to see and climb this mountain! Ive been going after state high points for two years now and this mountain is always on my mind. I’m so glad you guys got to see Denali!! Thanks for sharing.

I did this road as a night ride from 4pm to 4am back in 2007 on a rented mountain bike! I've never forgotten how incredible that place is, your video made me so nostalgic. Thank you so much for posting, beautiful!

Thank you Danny, Matt & Christoff. This is one magnificent episode. I am so happy to have seen. CONGRATULATIONS

I am jealous! You guys have the best adventures.

Cool video, as usual. Thanks for putting up all of this great stuff. Keep it up.

Catching up on your videos and this one so far my fav!! The amazing views and road for yourself and Denali priceless!!

I've not ridden a bike in years, I'd grown tired of doing so, but, this video... Woooow! You guys have me researching this trip now. Well done boys!

This is incredible. Definitely adding this to my list of challenging adventures

Growing up in Alaska all my life I never really appreciated the vastness and beauty that the state offers (especially the mountains) until I left. Alaska is a gem!! Keep riding guys!!

Awesome guys... thanks for sharing this

Love watching your channel! Such an inspiration to get outdoors.

Dream team, 3 riders of the apocalypse, strike back with another awesome video! Stunning scenery, hope to get there one day! I was so worried during the video that you (and we) might not see it but luckily sometimes there is justice in this world! 👌💪🙏

Wow never been this early to your guys vedios. Keep up the amazing content

Thank you so much, beautiful video.

Bikepacking and Denali. You guys made my day!

Another GREAT ADVENTURE!! Love it!

Thank you for adding something to my bucket list that I’d never even known about before this video!

You guys are very fortunate to experience this.

Love to hear your training regimen. Bicycling, running, skiing are all activities using different muscle groups. Great videos!

Brilliant again!

Denali is absolutely amazing!

MA with Matt = 🐻. Sweet ride fellows! Thanks for taking us along.

Glorious view of Denali.

I’ve watched all of your videos, such a big fan of you guys and this channel. Just have to say, the stuff you’re doing now is truly inspirational and the gang is just solid right now. Cheers to you and thanks for the content. Also, the filming and editing is top notch.

I haven’t been this early! I can’t wait. EDIT: This was so awesome. I would love to see more adventures in Alaska! Maybe sometime you can climb Denali.

Man, what an awesome adventure. My family had plans to spend a few weeks in Alaska this summer, including staying at one of the backcountry lodges at the end of the Denali Park Road, but we of course had to cancel everything because of covid. While I'm not sure if we'll get the opportunity to plan a trip like that again, it does relieve some of that pain seeing you guys have such a unique experience at Denali. Here's to the Mediocre Amateur crew going on the adventures we can't go on, so that we can live vicariously through them. Love this channel.

Absolutely Gorgeous Views!!! ❤️❤️❤️⛰😊

Great video. Brought back many memories of doing the ride in 2003 and 2005 on a road bike (mistake) & 2005 a mtn bike. It rained and snowed off and on and camped at Wonder Lake on day. Always a 2 day trip. Denali, lucky for us was always in full view.

This is fantastic!

You guys are awesome. Love the channel!

Great video such amazing views

thanks so much for the video.

Fantastic!!!

Well I know what park I am working at next. Gotta see this mountain! Thanks for the amazing and inspiring content again Mediocre Crew. Cheers!

Got the notification and watched immediately. Wanted to give it a like and 447 already beat me to it, lol. I love Alaska ❣️I haven’t been there since the mid 90’s but have seriously considered retiring there and skiing Alyeska again and again and again. Love the content guys!!!

Just waiting for the day when you guys summit Denali in epic fashion.

That view of Denali. Wow, just wow.

Your guys channel is something that I think will keep growing dramatically if you choose to keep it up! Love your content. Hardcore athletes with a camera! Hell yeah!

Great video. I worked at the Park for 6 summers including a year at Eielson. The weather you had was classic summer weather. You were lucky. Some people never get to see the mountain. Overcast is best for wildlife sittings and you definitely had your share. And you beat the worst mosquitos by going in late August.

Great footage. It is impossible up understand the scale of that mountain until you see it in person. Can’t wait to go back someday. A bike would be a good way to do it but I think I would need a few more days.

You guys are absolute animals , amazing content

I love seeing all the ski gear on bicycles. 🙂

Beautiful trip, congratulations :) In 2019 I cycled from Anchorage to Wonder Lake and back to McKinley Park, it was mystical

epic as always

That is your very best video so far, guys! Very optimistic you will climb that big D someday ;) gl and thank you!

Outstanding. Cool to see it without crowds. Got up to Denali last year, and I kept seeing people on bikes wishing I was one of them. Spent the previous week in the Wrangell-St. Elias backcountry though, so can't complain a whole lot.

You are far from mediocre...thanks for the great video. I am contemplating going to ride in Denali with my little Velo Orange Mini Velo from Anchorage to Denali and ride that same road and camp out there like you fellows did. I really appreciate this video, you did an amazing job and it is of great help. Cheers.

I haven't done any biking in a long time I mainly watch for the skiing videos. With that being said, this has to be one of the best videos on the channel!

Next time you should climb denali

WOW I didn't know Denali was so majestic from afar! Such a gorgeous ride! Matt was right!

Saw christof at REI before he left for the trip, stoked to see how it went! Video production is amazing too.

Some friends and I had the pleasure of seeing Denali +/- a day or two from the opposite side (the state park). We’ve been followers of yours for years now and were happy to see you all coincidentally in Alaska at the same time!

👍thanks for sharing!!

Always high quality content 👍🏼

Great video! The landscapes on day 1 reminded me of Iceland

Everyone's fishing in August You guys need to keep doing what you live to do and keep posting videos of your adventures. AND ALSO DONT BE SCARED TO MAKE YOUR VIDEOS AN HOUR OR LONGER. every minute is breath taking

Awesome, added to the to do list!

Amazing view of Denali.

This is the only channel that I go to "fullscreen" by default, keep it up!

This makes me want to go to the Alaska national parks so bad! How do you guys not have a million subscribers. Most underrated channel on youtube.

You guys deserve a lot more subscribers. Excellent videos!
