. 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.

What an incredible adventure! I did this trip via bus, but the views must be so much better when you power your way out there to see it. The perfect bikes for the trip. I however cannot understand why rear racks are not used. The weight would be so much lower and more stable with rear panniers. I also would not want 20 lbs of gear strapped to my handlebars. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?

I know this has been asked several times before, though never answered; what topography app(s) do they use? Perhaps UCm4PLXpg6kVF7G7qu8lbKnQ can get us the answer since he seems to answer sometimes. In previous videos Danny often shows their travel route, with topography, elevation, etc. It would be nice if they can share the info. Many thanks and safe travels.

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.

So Christoph's bike is an enigma. it appears to be a Felt Doctrine 1 (XC MTB) that was converted to have drop bars? Did he build it from scratch or are Force/Rival 1x levers compatible w/ Sram MTB rear derailleurs? Love the video!

I didn't watch mediocre amateur before now, after being an avid listener of News AF for 2 years, and I am so ashamed. I've watched 5 of these videos in the past two days. These are amazing guys, keep up the great work!

Tickets? You have to pay to go to a part of your own country? So much for the land of the free. Here Snowdonia national park free. Lake District national Park free. Highlands of Scotland free. Youse are being ripped off.

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!

I live in Colorado and was talking trash to my Alaskan brother about what high was. Until we crested some front range mountains on our snow machines and saw Denali, indescribable how massive it is.

Several years back my wife and I road the bus out and back, 92. 5 miles one way, and never once saw Denali. No complaints at all though, we would do it again in a second. Thank you!
