I have lived in Hope for 47 years. Thank you for the wonderful photography and taking me on hikes that I am too old for now. I came for a weekend visit and have never left. The beauty of the Arm makes life worth living.
Thank you so much for these kind words, and for coming along with us on these adventures. We absolutely understand about being captured by the beauty of the Arm. It’s an amazing place.
Few decades ago, it would've been unfathomable to think that individuals would be able to create products of this high quality.
That is an awesome compliment - thank you!
Thank you Cora and Jose
Thank YOU for being with us on the journey for so long! 🙏
I'm from Alaska, 3rd generation Anchorage, and this was a fabulous video with both accurate history and great perspective! Thank you !!
Wow, thank you so much! This is a wonderful compliment! 😊
Beautiful video! I love your sense of adventure and storytelling! Keep up the great work!
Thank you!! It really means a lot to hear that. So happy you are enjoying all the adventures!
what a epic journey
Alaska is quite an amazing place, right?!?
Another amazing episode. Thank you for that wonderful journey to Hope point.
Glad you enjoyed it!! What we didn’t put in the video was that we were sore for days after, hahahah 😆😆
The Turnagain Arm is breathtaking! Your video and photo work is unsurpassed and the music is so wonderful as well! Alaska has a hold on me and I will return again next Spring to visit with the amazing woodcarvers of Ketchikan once again...to learn and to carve. Thanks you so much for your wonderful videos...they simply bless me!
Hey Bob! Oh, we are so happy you enjoyed this most recent sojourn into Alaska! Maybe next year as we leave Alaska we will have the opportunity to visit Ketchikan. The whole region south of Skagway is still unexplored by us! We hope hope hope it can work out that we can make it over there - it sounds amazing!
Cora, the way you put me in the places you show is very impressive! I feel like i'm traveling with you.
You're an amazing story teller!!!
Besides, there's a lot to learn from each video.
Geology with Cora is a wonderful idea - love it!
Thank you, Andrea! 😃 So so so happy you are enjoying the episodes!
I was there 4 days ago, this was a great video to watch, I liked the Geology Time. I saw the bore tide, surfers and Belga Whales.
Oh awesome! We were just there parked in our favorite camping spot in Portage Valley 🏔️🏔️
Phenomenal. Stunning. Mesmerizing. Gotta pull out all the superlatives for a place that astoundingly gorgeous. Beautifully filmed, narrated engagingly and accompanied by perfect music throughout. Thank you for one of the most pleasant and interesting half hours I have spent in awhile. New sub! 😍
Wow, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!
You're most welcome. Well deserved praise. 🙂
That hike looks absolutely stunning! I hope one day I can also hike that trail 😊
I hope so too! You will love it!
Wow, what an amazing video! Great narration, too! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
An epic view no matter where you look. Thanks for the great video!
Couldn't agree more! Glad you got to catch a glimpse of it :)
Love your channel. Professionally done. Breath-taking cinematography.
Wow, thank you! Such a kind compliment! We're so happy to see you are enjoying the videos!!
Great job again showing off such beautiful scenery! Really enjoyed your presentation 👍
Thank you very much!
Another amazing video! I grew up here (Alaska) and love what you teach in each one. Hope we see you next year in Homer.
Yay!! So happy you guys are along for the ride, and can't wait to meet you next spring!
what beautiful footage! I lived there many years but never seen the Turnagain like this. Thanks for all your wonderful knowledge and videos. It is sad how much the glacier receded. In the 80's you could literally see the glacier and touch the ice flow from the shore of the lake!
Yes, it's staggering to think of how quickly Portage Glacier has receded. Just this winter, we walked out onto the ice all the way to the glacier. We had never seen it before, as it is now so far back you have to round the mountain to see it. 😥
Just subbed, beautiful video, hello from Utah 😊👋
Thanks for subbing! Welcome aboard the AWTY train! :)
Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you so much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Magical! Thanks for the geology lessons, they are cool. Magnificent Alaska,
Thank you!! So happy you enjoy them! Geology is just awesome, isn't it?!
True work of Art!!
I was exploring for details on bamff & jasper when I tumbled upon your channel & couldn’t stop myself from watching back to back. Right from the name to the content, from editing, narration to music everything is so artful (rare on CZcams). It’s a proper professional work of travel production.
Being an Indian and exploring Himalayas from last few years I took Alaska as a touch & go destination, but the way you have shown now its definitely in my bucket list for longer exploration.
Wow! Just wow! I put the Turnagain Arm on my bucket list!
Hurray!!! You will LOVE it!
Thankyou so much for this wonderful content❤🎉 from past 2 days I'm watching only your videos.
Awwww, so sweet! Thanks for being on the journey with us!
The number of subscribers continues to grow! Yeah!! Such a beautiful video. It’s like taking a geology class. Gracias🙏🏼
Yeah! The algorithm seems to like us right now. We're grateful!
Looks like you had a windy and beautiful hike up Hope Point. That trail is crazy steep. Thanks for sharing the beautiful views of Turnagain Arm.
So happy you enjoyed it! Any other hikes you recommend around the arm? We always love getting recommendations!
Drove the arm twice last week. Wish I had seen your video 1st! One of the most beautiful drives in the USA
It really is!!!
Hi Cora and Jose. My wife and I have been loving your videos since we stumbled upon them while researching our next adventure to Banff and Jasper (yours are our favourite videos we have seen so far btw). So much so that the next program we watch as a couple won't be on Netflix or normal TV but 'Halibut' that you just released the other day. For the CZcams algorithm you may have this comment and my first ever CZcams 'like'. (We are already subscribed). Keep the videos coming.
Thank you so much for your support and kind words! It means the world to us that our videos have become some of your favorites and that you also found them useful for planning your trip! We're so grateful for your subscription, comment, and like. Welcome aboard!!!
Sooo wonderful to have this story, to see such an incredible view of Turnigan Arm.
So happy you enjoyed this episode!!
Epic video. Perspective is funny. We saw the Turnagain ice tide and we're creeped out. We went as far as Girdwood and went back. It felt so creepy. It was very cloudy outside so it felt like living in a black and white movie.
Isn't that interesting?! For us, the first time we saw it, we didn't even realize it was moving until we stopped the car. We were traveling in the same direction, and so it just looked like the arm was covered in stable ice. Then we pulled over and all of a sudden we could see the motion of it, and it was SO TRIPPY!!!
@@ArtWeThereYet Trippy is a pretty good description. Lol
Hope trail is awesome.
It is! Agreed!
Fascinating! Great job on this very informative and beautiful video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Omg so beautiful!!!!!!!
It really is!
awesome video
Thank you, Percy!
AMAZING !!! 👏👏☺️☺️
Love your stuff !!! 😍😻
Definitely will go !!!
ADORE this Nation/feel chills !!! ☝️💪💯🇺🇸✊
Awesome! Thank you! 😊
Drove down to Seward yesterday from Anchorage. We seen your skoolie parked at one of the pull outs on the Seward highway. We thought it was neat seeing your Skoolie after seeing it so many times on CZcams.
Oh that’s so cool! Thanks for watching our videos and being on the journey with us!
superb Turnagain Arm video presentation New Subscriber here 👍
Thank you!! And thanks for joining our youtube gang to join us on the journey!
Thanks so much for sharing your Alaskan experiences. I have learned so much and can't wait to visit the Turnagain Arm someday. Cheers!
We are so happy you're enjoying the adventure with us! We hope you make it up here to the arm someday - you will LOVE it!
This episode is very informative and wonderful. I don't know why it doesn't have 100k views at least.
Beautiful... great job. I'm subscribing right now.
Thank you for making me (Cora) smile today. What a beautiful comment to receive. Welcome aboard the journey with us!

Just found your channel while looking up Banff National Park and I’m looking forward to binge watching a lot more of your videos this weekend. What tripod is Jose using for his camera?
Yay!! Binge away! 😊 So happy you found the channel and now are on the trip with us!
This is the tripod Jose uses: amzn.to/45hoqtu

Happy you liked it!
Hey youngin’s, Rev. Paul, Eustis Florida.
What in this world would stop the melting?? In just a day1/2….
A massive volcanic eruption, a Little Bit Bigger than Honga Tonga. I also lived through the 1964 earthquake largest ever in N. America if you would like the 5 min and 15 seconds of it and what transpired after just ask…. :)
It must have been a harrowing experience to live through the 64 quake
🎉POLL TIME!🎉 Would YOU surf the bore tide?
It seemed tame compared to a wave at the beach but the cold waters would not be fun. I enjoyed watching it, though. Amazing experience!
I'd try.
Just FYI unless you really seriously know what you’re doing, DO NOT GO WALKING OUT ON THE MUD FLATS. I live in Anchorage and I swear just about every year I hear about somebody who goes out there, gets stuck in suck mud (which is basically quicksand), then dies when high tide comes. Every time I hear about it my first thought is, “what were they thinking going out there?”. I learned at a very early age to respect & fear suck mud so it seems crazy to me that people go out there without knowing better. AK is an incredibly beautiful state, I highly recommend going on hikes ANYWHERE OTHER THAN THE MUD FLATS.
Agree 100%. It’s crazy how many people ignore the signs.
I’m pretty sure I saw your bus the other day while driving the parks hwy
Yep, that was us 😊
Any possibility you’d share the gps location for where you boondocked while at Turnagain Arm?
You bet! It is the Bore Tide Viewing Pullout #4. If you plug that into Google Maps, it'll come right up 👍
Awesome, thank you and keep the videos coming
..the automatic 'closed captions' have issues, with local proper nouns and place names; so that should be corrected before anyone who either needs to read them (correctly) or chooses to turn volume down, if their partner may be sleeping, etc; or maybe they are deaf and have few choices to begin with..
.."the tournament arm bore tide" @ 2:39 is one example, of captions gone wrong..
Otherwise the video content is generally OK; but the scenery is only so-so, because I've commuted most seasons in this area, have taken still frame images of high quality.. developed own films, (now use a bit of digital) and lived in small towns on the far end of Seward Highway near mile zero; giving me an advantage tourists just aren't going to get, a few days per decade..
Thanks for a nice perspective.
Best regards and safe travels!

Yes, CZcams's automatic captions have a lot of errors. Unfortunately, manually creating/editing captions takes about 4 hours per video, which is time we just can't put in.
the best kept secret? it's literally the most popular area in the entire state lol
Well for folks who know….but we have found that a lot of visitors want to head straight to Denali thinking that is where it’s at..not realizing how flipping bonkers cool Turnagain Arm is!
This would be a 10 min video about Turnagain Arm without the history lesson, just overwrought.. btw every YT channel does AK glaciers, just saying. Safe Travels.
Too bad you don’t like history or geology and sorry you have to see another Alaskan glacier, they just have too many glaciers here, it’s very hard not to include one in our videos! 😂🤣
