8 Weeks in Alaska

In 2004, I went on an eleven week, 10,000 mile driving trip from Chicago to Alaska, spending eight weeks traveling every paved road and many gravel ones in Alaska.  My adventures included three visits to Denali National Park and two visits to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, several hundred miles of biking, dozens of day hikes, two glacier hikes, a kayak trip in Misty Fjord, three whitewater raft trips, rides on both the White Pass-Yukon and Alaska Railways, two flight-seeing trips, two small boat adventures to glaciers, a 20 mile backpack in Denali State Park, a trip above the Arctic Circle, three trips on the Alaska Ferry (Bellingham, WA, to Skagway, AK), two explorations of the Alaska Pipeline, and more.

I've split these diverse adventures into eight different videos listed below.  Enjoy whichever ones interest you!
