We were fortunate to be able to take a quick summer trip from Cantwell to Paxson on Alaska's scenic Denali Highway. The views were spectacular and the fishing was a blast!

My wife and I (before she was my wife) made the same trip in 1997. We were in a class c rented motorhome. We weren't supposed to be there. It was extremely corrugated! It was the trip of a lifetime! This brought back a lot of memories. Thanks, I really like your channel.

@noocemiller6005 3 года назад

I sit here living my crappy lower 48 life, shut in my house worrying about coronavirus, not seeing my family, and riots, and hurricanes, and wildfires, and somehow it feels like you guys are on a vacation up there. So thanks for the videos. It’s like it’s normal out there somewhere.

@MySav4Ever 3 года назад

I love watching your videos. I’m able to see and experience Alaska as I will never be able otherwise. What a blessing you are to many! 💕❤️🙏

@jigsawjunkie1398 3 года назад

I totally agree. I dream of one day going to Alaska but I know that I probably won't get there. I am an all day buffet for mosquitoes and I dislike snow. lol So I am living Alaska through Arial and Eric. Such great Photography!!

That quietness in nature. It is a therapy for those grinding life in bustling cities. For me at least.

@davidens8204 3 года назад

the reason why domestic blueberries dont taste as good as wild is that in order to make the farmed ones more viable crop they crossbred them with another bush-berry not unlike the Saskatoon berry thus making the crop more viable and more of it but diluted the taste by at least 50 percent so wild blueberries are pure but domestic are a diluted crossbreed so its alot more work harvesting them but way worth it and its why wild blueberries are so much more expensive in the store harder to get and harvest.. great vlog of your trip

@sailme2day 3 года назад

what a great family holiday !!! everything was a joy to see , hear and experience through your eyes. You 2 should try and get a gig with the state of alaska for a paid vacation series for visitor videos !!!! honest. The video skills just keep getting better and better. Great fishing clips and the drone footage , wonderful bonus birds eye view of each location. thank you :)

@DeanJohnson67 3 года назад

it's good to see you two get out with the dogs for a little R&R and adventure! you two are always working!!!

@RendiaX 3 года назад

Instantly recognized the spot you fished at around the 9min mark: The day use area/boat launch just down the road from Tangle Lakes Lodge :) My father and I went there every year on fathers day for years. Always camped in that spot along the creek before it was made a no camping area and the other one down the road opened up. We even took part in a fishing show there one year, good memories. He's passed, but I was just up there a few weeks ago with the family :)

@nathan8418 3 года назад

Didn’t realize the sun shines on the Denali Hwy. Every time I go hunting there it’s a sponge. Great video as always guys.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! This is probably one of my favorite videos that you guys have done. I'm a huge fan and watch them all but recently asked for a wildlife video and you guys exceeded my hopes. Seeing the beauty of Alaska through your eyes was amazing!

Your videos bring back a lot of memories. I was stationed at Ft Richardson from 1970-1976. Loved every minute of it.

@RatTaxi 3 года назад

My grandparents were stationed there and I'm sorry my Grandma never got to return. She loved telling how when she put Grandpa's shirts on the line outside they were stiff as a board when she brought them in. For a West Texas girl she was overwhelmed by all that beauty.

@susanapplegate9758 3 года назад

My little sister is a teacher in North Pole. But I'm in Wasilla so it's just a 6-hour drive for me. Hope you get up to visit your friend...there is no place like Alaska. Drive up from Anchorage if you can, it's unbelievably beautiful. I say this as a life-long Alaskan :)

Bama's no slouch for scenery either. Aww, they're all good. We're surrounded by beauty.

@RonRay 3 года назад

@@wisconsinfarmer4742 - True.. The northernmost part of the state (where I live), is pretty nice, with the Appalachian foothills creating some scenic mountain. But I suppose I'm like most humans.. we get accustomed to our own back yard and long for "greener pastures". :)

@susanapplegate9758 3 года назад

I've been in Alaska almost my entire life. I never get used to it... most Alaskans don't either. It's remarkable every single day and I know I'm completely blessed to be here.

There is nothing like Alaska. I did Paxson to Cantwell in the winter (back when the road was open winters). Completely dark; no light anywhere except from the stars. Quite an other-worldly experience. Thanks for the very cool video.

@elizabethmunroe3676 3 года назад

I just spent an hour or two doing errands, wearing a mask and where there's lots of new construction to figure out a path through. The video made me feel like I'd spent the morning on the open road, with all of the fresh air I needed. Thanks so much for taking us along. It is beautiful country, and the grayling are so pretty, too.

I love alaska. Went there a few years ago. Beautiful. If I were younger I would move there. Watching you guys and allowed into bits of your life gi es me pleasure. My advice to all dont put aside the things you will regret later in life. Maybe when you get your rental cabin I'll come back to the state i love.

@MrSymbolic7 2 года назад

I fished the Outflow of Tangle Lakes 20 years ago and our best fishing for grayling was with a fly rod using a mosquito fly , they congregate behind boulders it was every cast ! If you do a canoe trip as we did the grayling get much bigger the further you go down river , I actually had to keep changing my tippet to a larger size to stop getting broke off in the faster water , good times !

@walterdanielswalter.r.dani7628 3 года назад

Ben fishing the Denali Highway for almost 50 yrs and recognized so many places. A little bit of info if you plan on catching and releasing grayling is to make sure your hands are wet so as to not damage the protective mucus on the outside of the fish.

@MatanuskaHIGH 3 года назад

In Alaska char and Dolly varden are considered basically the same fish. Char are stocked in many lakes here as well as wild fish in most rivers.
