  • We head out to the local Reed Lakes Trail for some summer fun! With massive boulders, lush green mountains and icy blue glacier fed lakes, it isn't hard to see why this is a popular trail located in the beautiful Hatcher Pass of Alaska.

    Hey everyone! We hope you enjoy this video of our hiking trip. We weren't able to make it to the lower or upper lake on this trail but the dogs were awesome troopers!
    We can't recommend this hike enough if you are up to it and in the area. Follow this link for more information on Reed Lakes Trail in Hatcher Pass: www.alaska.org/detail/reed-lakes-trail
    Thank you for watching! :)

    I've been following you both for a while now and I must say, I really enjoy your video and editing skills. Not too fast, not too slow, and the right amount of commentary. One of the things that caught my attention to this is how at the end of almost every session, you video without commentary. It's just so relaxing. It's like you're just hanging out with friends without superfluous filler. So, yah. I like it.

    Beautiful country there, thanks for the video feast for the eyes. As a semi-old guy who's kicked around the BC back country for most of my adult life, I'm glad to see the shoo bear strapped to Eric's chest there. All the bears were good bears and ran away from me until the day one didn't. One never knows and it's better to be safe. Thanks again and stay well you two.

Not a human design in sight how specticular. I lived in the jungles of Maui and love a veiw of no humans insight. Blessings to all and thank you so much for walking the trail and sharing with us to see. P.S. I do Not like the cold but now want to go up and see your beautiful Alaska.

    I stumbled on your Videos for a month now. I love your show ... very informative and relaxing. I watched a few and decided to subscribe to your Channel and started to watch from the beginning. It was fascinating ... to know ... your decision process from California ... Oregon ... to Alaska. I have enjoyed watching you both. Working together as Husband and a Supportive Wife. I have learned so much from watching your Videos.
    Ariel, you make it so easy .... to bake a bread ... tortillas ... flatbread. And Eric ... you're there ... together cooking together. I love your Cooking videos. I wish you would say in your video ... what ingredients you're cooking. I just love your way of cooking ... your garden ( beautiful vegetables ... )
    But this Video ... I had to show my Husband ... the beauty of back country Alaska. It reminded us of our hiking days during camping when we were younger. I used to gather wild flowers and brought a vase for camping. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing

    Your Reed Lakes summer hike: Erin spotted western Columbines, a lovely wild flower in my opinion, which grow well in cold climates and blossom for at least for two months of the summer. Take a late summer or early autumn hike on the same trail and harvest the seeds for later seeding in your house and transplanting to your flower beds.

    at 5:37, those boulders are actually volcanic. I saw similar ones at top in BC before descending on train down to Skagway, AK Great descent, same as the gold rush miners. I highly recommend that ride. The depth and trees aligning on both sides is awesome. Those flowers are gorgeous, some recognizable, some not sure but still in the wild, a true treasure to find and show.

    00:35 ... bet that water is very very cold. I still remember sticking my head in a small mountain rivulet near Aspen Colorado back in 1974 .... BIG mistake! I had instant brain freeze - more than I normally have day to day ~8^) 04:25 M-a-r-m-o-t .... love'em! Tons of them in the mountains of Utah were I used to camp on the weekends/vacations. It's amazing how high up that you find hummingbirds ... they really really love those mountain flowers. The scenery in the Western US & Alaska reminds me of Switzerland ... you can't take a bad picture if you tried. Same goes for the Adirondacks in upstate New York. Thanks tons for filming your trip ... quite a beautiful day of adventure. Take care you two.
