The weather can get crazy in Denali National Park and when we're only inside the National Park we gotta hike no matter what! The Savage Alpine trail is ranked as one of the best "official" hikes within Denali National Park with commanding views of the mountains and valleys. It's also a hot spot for bears.
For us the hike started crazy and ended up even crazier...it's definitely an adventure!

Jason's little song was to alert bears in the area of your approach, thus avoiding a surprise confrontation in the brush. The scat looked like caribou that was a little "runny". Another great video, guys!
runny..could be moose..in summer they have runny poop from swamp vegetation..
You guys are totally fun..... And I thought we were the only ones that went on crazy adventures..... Good job Nikki for keeping such a positive attitude! Jason- you definitely found a keeper in Nikki! Thanks for share and the smiles!
-Scott Helmann
It's safe to say...We all had fun with this video. Marked as a place to visit. thanks
Reminded me of the crazy things my exhusband and I did 40 years ago during the 15 years I lived in Alaska. I'm 71 now, kind of nice to have my memory jogged.
+Mary Ann Lee Happy to oblige
This video was incredible. It was such a crazy, fun, funny, and awesome mix. Literally had me laughing out loud several times. That bear ditty do da beat was on point.Too funny. Very glad you guys made it down safely. Always in time to end the day with a cocktail, Way to love it up!!!!!!
+Yare Nunez Don't give Jason any more encouragement, he is already thinking he should upload that little number to itunes. :)
I greatly enjoyed Jason's singing! Gotta keep them bears away! :P
+Dead Pappa Dazzle Hiser :)
I saw the sticker that said this car climbed mount washington too. I live within and hour of there. It is beautiful here in the white mountains of NH. Although i grew up in CT. You are crazy doing that hike. I give you kudos on that one. I bet you slept real well that night. Thanks for sharing that with us.
Flew to Tokyo from Chicago a few years ago and when we went over the Alaskan mountains, the turbulence was awful....makes perfect sense now!
Enjoyed this 1000x more then burning man ! Ok, so you had wounderfil experience. Keep going ........... Fun fun fun .... Weeeeeee!
Love it! What a great adventure. Love your attitude when "it" hit the fan. Love how you were prepared. Great eyes for seeing beauty when you could barely see... Wonderful 😃
I actually like hiking in bad weather. Call me crazy. Thanks for sharing a cool vid.
I have to agree. That was crazy and it looked so cold. But you made it out alive(without getting eaten by a bear) and it did look like fun. Enjoy your videos.
Black bear feces contains berries and squirrel fur, Grizzly bear feces contain Go Pros and BELLS. looked like a fun jaunt.
nah..girizzly poop smells like pepper and has bells in it....
So glad that you guys did that so I don't have to! My feet are cold just watching this! Plus, my wife would have knocked me down, taken that bell and run! You must love him!
Nice job just taking Alaska as it was presented! Too many people go to an extreme place and then complain about its nature. We don't use the bells, because we aren't tourists, but you sound just like us singing down the trail. Plenty of talking and laughter and generally the bears are long gone by the time you get there.
+Boondoc yea the bell just holds the beat :)
when you coe across some scat in the woods ..the way you can tell its bear poop it it will smell like pepper and have little bells in it..
If you must wait for perfect weather in Alaska to explore, you might have to sit inside for awhile. Thanks for taking us on that adventure. My ears hurt from the wind!
+Bryant Ford Yea that wind was BRUTAL, on us and the audio.
You two are crazy, I did that bus tour in June 2008 and I saw grizzly bears not far from that road, back then the weather was nice, no rain or snow, not hot or cold; we were unable to see mount McKinley because low clouds. I highly recommend that bus tour.
Dean, and Christy had a "This Car Climbed Mt. Washington" sticker in their Van,that's very cool! I was born in Northern N.H. in the Shadow of Mt. Washington,and my very first "real" job was at the Cog Railway.(ok,might have been Just a bit of nepotism there) I later worked on the AT with the YCC,and had the absolute pleasure of knocking off many of my AT miles while doing my job.Very cool youth,,if I do say so myself. mmmm,,guess I just did. LOL
Thank you for sharing,and look forward to our paths crossing one again. Enjoy Life,C-Ya,,,,Peace!
+GnatMan Allin wow, great eye! next time we meet, lets move to a better location...not that I have anything against the grocery store. :)
consider it done,,,,preferably somewhere with libations
Up there in the snow and wind I'll bet some ski goggles and balaclavas would've felt like quite the luxury :-)
Great video guys! Liking your channel.
Great video. Excellent views. Love Denali! THANKS!
Wow! What a fantastic adventure! The northern lights, getting lost in a blizzard? Now those are the stories you tell your grand kids. :)
Oh my. That bear ditty was the highlight of my day.
The Bear Ditty is the best. It deserves to be on iTunes. XD
I'm working on a shark ditty now :)
Seriously can't get that crazy tune out of my head - Thanks Jason. Very glad you got down safely !
Was there, loved it. Glad you are not nature shy.
How you were able to craft such a well done video in such horrible conditions I do not know. Oh yes, I do know. Because you are both a damn good video team. Without a doubt... congrats on the work.
+Frederick Fichman thanks for the love!
'Turn on the furnace" Great choice, that way you get warm equally on all sides at the same time. :)
Always enjoy a nice relaxing evening with the first viewing of Elf, and a new Wynns video!
+Alex McDougall Now we just need an elphin wynn :)
very amazing y'all. i dont reckon i'll be complaining about the weather here in beaumont (tx) ever again.
A blizzard in August? Holy moly...
wow, though I was watching a scary movie. LOL . I was looking for the bear to come out of the bushes. was st the edge of my seat. love watching your adventures
simply AMAZING... thank you SO MUCH for taking us along~
Fantastic. It's one thing to have a nice RV waiting for you after adventures on sunny, mild days... but a hot shower and dry socks after an outing like that must've felt like returning to a Himalayan base camp. Thanks for taking us along.
Gutsy bushwhacking back down to the road with just a dinner..err...bear bell. Surprised you guys did not have spray. Looked like fun. Great video once again!
I actually like hiking in bad weather. Call me crazy. Thanks for sharing a cool vid.
need more!!!!!!!!!!!!!! from you two.
+William Hayes If we had a film crew and an editing team we could post more :)
i love them.
those poops could have been from a very big animal that might be hungry, ha. good show. waiting for more
Awesome adventure, time to thaw out and plan the next crazy adventure...
+Donald Eastwood so true!
I guess I must have missed this episode. You guys are certifiable :-) I kept thinking about the joke where someone explains what grizzly bear feces looks like ... "it smells a bit like pepper and often has little bells in it" :-) Does seem quite bizarre considering it was August ! You earned your keep this day .... and earned some newfound respect :-)
That was a while ago. Nice video and glad you guys made it out safe with that weather. Take care.
Wow! now that's hiking!! I love the four season, but a blizzard in August, that's crazy ..... you guys are awesome. I was wondering about if you guys were prepared or not, good to know you were. What timing that a vehicle stopped and offered a ride .... they were nice folks it seems. I enjoyed this video as much as you guys, thanks!
That was close to insane! Exciting, but. . .
wow that looked like fun...thanks...
I'd really need a clear sunny day to enjoy that hike with arthritic knees. Looks like you two had a good hike though. Very nice video. p.s. bear scat has little bells in it and smells like pepper spray.
.
I was listening to the bear ditty in the bear language (yes, I speak bear) and because of your accent, you were actually singing "We are the people that taste like a pizza." So I can tell you without a doubt, there were no bears within earshot of you because if there had been, you would have been eaten. Bears LOVE pizza! Especially wearing expensive hiking gear and carrying bells. It's more like dinner and a show that way.
+Maxid1 Ha! Dinner and a show...never thought of it that way but I guess you're right. :)
That was great! Really my kind of hike. So cool that you two do these kind of things together.
Thanks for taking us along!
Happy Trails
So I guess the title should be "summer storm" instead of "winter storm"
It's amazing how you guys brace such extreme condition with smile and ease
wow gnarly in Denali glad to see you guys knew when to give it up, a low tech tip is take a compass take a bearing from high ground and not get lost in the forest below . glad you made it back safe and sound :0)
+John Dow true, didn't even consider busting out the compass but probably should have...although the liquid might have been frozen inside :)
So, when is your "Bear Song" gonna drop on iTunes? Seriously, it's stuck in my head. I'm glad you two had fun!
I don't think bears would go out in that weather lol ..... quite the adventure you had today! How are your faces - hope they're not too burnt from the icy wind.
You guys crack me up, and make me want to get out in that weather. I like the music too. Some good drama, and it felt good finally seeing you get inside ;-)
Long Beach Ca is great location for boat docking and RV storage. I keep my trailer at the Long Beach Airport when not on the road. Try Shields date farm for a date shake at hwy 111 and Jefferson. Borrego Springs great breakfast is the red Octillio at Christmas circle. Happy Holidays!!!! Salton city sunset awesome tonight!!
Love your Alaska videos! We just got back from Fairbanks to see the lights and had an amazing week! We also went to Denali and did the Mt Healy overlook trail a day after they just had 16inches of snow. It was crazy and beautiful at the same time! Cant wait to head to Valdez in the summer!
Loved the video. I thought that Jason had tried some of those mushrooms, when he started singing. LOL
You two are crazy!
You 2 are great , I also love to hike in nature whenever I can in Utah. I do carry all the emergency gear in my backpack and also have Bear Spray just in case. You never know when your going to run into a mother with cubs. She will attack anything that gets to close.
Thank you very much for showing this so I can watch in my warm bedroom, lol. I know that weather so a thank you for a great scene. Skin feels like peeling off, bones about to crack?
You went to two different worlds in one day:-). " And how great is it to have home always nearby?! Thanks guys
Nice video. Great point and example of always being prepared. Hope to see the mountain next May or June. Planning to ride my motorcycle and tent it. Thanks again for all your work.
+624metv i hope you read our tips on camping and buses: www.gonewiththewynns.com/camping-buses-denali-national-park
Read that right after I watched your video. The article was great. Thanks again.
Kinda scary there for a few minutes. it seemed like an awesome adventure....
That was fun. love it.
You guys inspire me so much! Im only 13 but I want to travel in a class A motorhome now... Keep it up!!
Love your enthusiasm! Certifiably crazy but respect the joie De vive.
That trail and going deep would have definitely put me in a bit of a panic! To add on my previous comment, do you ever get freaked out in situations like this? How do you stay positive and upbeat? Haha, impressive.
This is the video that made me click "Subscribe" to your channel. You both seem so pleasant and happy together. I am itching to get out there in the Great USA and explore. Thank you both!
+3218675309 Happy to have you on board!
Binging the Alaska videos in 2021. Jason heading down to the road. 🎶 😂 Had y’all been on a group hike everyone would have left him behind.
Great show !!
Great video..good you came off the mountain. Look up milford sound hike. 4 days 64 km long. I think you would love it. We accounted snow in the middle of summer.
We're Denali bound too, but it will be spring by the time we reach there, thanks for sharing.
+Kombi Life you guys are going to love it! Can't wait to see your vids!
+Kombi Life Hey Ben, it looks like you are everywhere XD.
Nik Leiser it's the traveler in me :)
Kombi Life
for sure.
spring..its only open half mile in from the highway..you wont be able to see much.
Y'all are so cool.
this is what RVing is all about .. the unplanned not going your way thing as this is what you well remember more is the flat tires and getting lost
Sometime I really want to see the bears fish for salmon during the summer in Alaska. It is on my bucket list. Looked like a very cold hike you guys did burrrrrrrrrrr. I just noticed Leisure Travel Vans came out with the 2016 Unity FX. Very cool model and so far is the best RV design I have seen.
Well that was a bit insane but truly adventuresome. Too bad you didn't get to see a bear.
I think this would be awesome weather for hiking In
I've only just found your site, and watched this video , you two are mad, gonna watch the other video's eventually, so very jealous of your RV wow.
that definitely looked like an adventure, thanks for sharing
Wow, I was kinda thinking this might be your last video. Glad you made it back. I'm kinda cold now.
+Neil Mayo hahaha .... I was thinking the same thing.
That was pretty awesome!!! :)
if you guys know that there is going to be snow on the trail, build Inukshuk's, or stack stones on each other to help guide you back alone the trail.
Awesome Excursion, I think I'll need a face shield at that elevation and I'm elated that you guys made it back safe. Thanks for sharing!
I felt so bad for y'all in this video. I think it's definitely a good story for the books! I just started my channel as I just got my first RV. I plan to vlog about my travels too. I took my first trip this weekend. Hopefully I'll get some subscribers soon! LOVE your cats!
Great documentation of the adventure! I felt like I was there, well kind of in that I'm sitting on a warm couch in my slippers. :-)
We speak the same language but awsome is not a word I would of used in any part of that vid, still loved it though, nuts yes.
are the bells and the 'singing' suposed to scare the bears??? hahahaha!!!
WOW awesome vids you two are adventurous I must say that's just crazy thanks for sharing.
Yes your crazy ! It's a Pengo ! Two black buttons needed on the hood at the temples. Nicci's suit!
WOW! That was a cool adventure. I hope to do that someday...
Good attitude :) I got lost once and getting grumpy while we went picking mushroom on the mountain.
oh man you guys are lucky , that could have turned out badly .
+Daniel B. A trip to the grocery store can turn out badly. It's knowing your limits and when to call it that matters most to us.
trip to the grocery store and hike in Alaska, yeah sure go with that one!
you are courageous ( or some other word that starts with C :) ) what an adventure !
+dennis tresselt probably a little of both. :)
You got that song stuck in my head
Jason was so funny!! LMAO
i like the bear ditty do da beat.
+Mark Larsen Download now on Itunes :)
Looked like fun to me!
Too bad you didn’t have some kind of goggles, it would have solved the needles in the eyes feeling. Great hike though. Jason cracked me up, he’s protecting Nikki with his singing, awesome guy!
FUN!!!
Love your videos. Might want to consider following Leave No Trace principles during you hikes.
Completely crazy ... Nope just enjoy your experience truly funny .
Anyone else get cold just from watching this?
Please don't forget to enable the closed captioning on your videos. Thanks! I miss too much of what's going on without them.
