  • For our next adventure in Alaska we headed down to Anchorage to hike three hikes at Chugach State Park, one of the largest state parks in the United States, plus enjoy a couple local food spots. From gorgeous lakes and mountain peaks, rock scrambling, mountain goats, waterfalls, and glaciers, it was an EPIC few days in the park!

    Hi A+K! I love all your videos, this one in particular because my family and another family (11 of us in all) stayed in the Crow Pass cabin in 1974! Glad to see it's still there! When we first arrived at the cabin, we were wondering where the outhouse was. Someone spotted something off in the distance, and it turned out to be the roof of the outhouse! (The outhouse back then was much farther away from the cabin than its current location.) There was so much snow that it was buried. We dug "snow stairs" down into the outhouse, only to discover that someone had used the door for firewood! Needless to say, it made for a chilly outdoor "activity." Keep up the great work!

    The water colors are incredible. I love the picture! You guys looking at the two waters with your dog in the middle staring was so perfect. Great family picture. Do you normally try to catch fish to add to your food supply in your RV? What does the reindeer sausage taste like? Is it taste just like regular sausage? The pizza sliced was bigger than her head. I love it. You're the first RV CZcamsr that's actually shown us any of Anchorage and the actual city. Good job of getting up and down the mountain. I have yet to find the mountain goats in our journeys. We have seen the bighorn sheep and all the other animals but not the beautiful mountain goods. Great shots of them! Another great video!

      We really liked that photo also!
      No, I haven't kept any fish. Those are the only 3 I've ever caught! I'm not sure when I'll keep some.
      We tried the reindeer sausage at Snow City Cafe in Anchorage and thought it was really good! It had a little different flavor than regular sausage, but it wasn't completely different. Maybe a little leaner. The pizza was soooo good!
      We felt so lucky to see those mountain goats!
      Thanks and thanks for watching!

I know that is the way it is but to see it is crazy! Keep up with all the dance moves and Kona coverage! Safe travels.

    The hike up to that viewpoint of Eagle Lake on one side and Symphony Lake on the other side was well worth it. I got to see the view and, funny thing, I'm not the least bit tired. Those were 3 pretty epic hikes, and you are right, all 3 are completely different. Who would have guessed that Alaskans lead the country in ice cream consumption.

    Loved this one! Adam, the joy of you fishing is so fun to watch. Love the enthusiasm. My oldest son is at a fishing camp this week and they just learned how to fly fish yesterday...looks so fun! Have you heard of "tenkara" fly fishing? I was just reading up all about it the other day. It's a Japanese style of fly fishing with just the rod, line, and fly...no reel. And the pole is telescopic so it packs down REAL small. It would be perfect for your back country hikes and all that if you continue on with your fishing journey. That 1st hike with the double color lakes was so cool. Love to see that someday. And yum to the ice cream. I love when you get 2/3 flavors in one go. And nice camera work getting the baby goat jump...hahah...love that. Finally, great music choices on this one!

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  Pƙed rokem +1

      I have heard of Tenkara. I thought about starting with that, but then decided to try a fly rod first. I might get a tenkara rod one day.
      We love trying as many flavors as we can too 😋
      We got so lucky with seeing those goats!
      Thanks, Nate!

' Hopefully, before you leave you can stop at Hatcher Pass and the Independence Mine. It is near Palmer and Wasilla and a very beautiful spot. If you do get over there, try hiking the Gold Mint trail. You will love it!
