    There has to be a God to make scenery like that. Thank you so much for going to the top so we could see the view. The waterfall was also amazing. Kelly thanks so much for what you do. Take care and be safe.

    I know exactly what you meant of the scenery being overwhelming. I'm from New Jersey and never been out west. I used to be a truck driver. 11 years ago, I was sent all the way out west. I saw all the mountains out there. First I was in shock and extremely happy but then I felt like crying, because it felt like an overload. All of humanity should have the right to experience all of this Earth we call home.
    Kudos to you, Kelly!!! Keep on truckin'!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ 🎉🎉🎉🎉 😊😊😊😊

    Wow. That was a steep ascent. 😮 At 4:34 look at the trees on the slope...that is steep y'all.The summit views were spiritual; there aren't words. I'm glad you hit the overlook at the falls. I ❤ waterfalls. Thank you so much again for sharing 9L. You never disappoint. ✌️

    ... Great day on Alaska's trails ... The waterfalls were exceptionally awesome ... .. I think in Alaska , might be a good idea to put bear spray on a neck lanyard .. with all the heavy vegetation, I'm surprised you didn't come across one .. .. Wow ,, that's one table full of food for 3 hungry hikers ... Thank you for sharing , Stay Safe ..

    I just finished a 10 day trip three weeks ago to the Kenai Peninsula for my first ever trip to Alaska and it was one of the most incredible things I've ever experienced. We hiked to the Harding Ice Field and that's probably one of the coolest things I've ever done. Moose's Tooth was banging too!

    Mt Eklutna was amazing. The wild flowers were cool.
    And the whole time I'm thinking, maybe one of you should have gone back for the bear spray. ✌🏽

    As beautiful as your pictures and video are, They do not come close to seeing it in person. I took a pic on the Turn Again Arm, then took my wife there the next year to the same spot. Her reaction to seeing it in person was...... My God, you tried to tell me but Oh MY God there is such a difference. Your Videos are bringing back some great memorys. Live each day there. I envy you! .........
    You should have gone back for the bear spray. I have lost one friend to a grizzly attack in Yellowstone. He left his spray too.

    Bear spray is not as good as a heavy revolver. Even that is puny on a brown bear. Call me paranoid but I would not hike through bears.

    I carry a 10mm. You don’t need to be hiking there without something for protection. It only takes one sow griz. You are on the food chain there. Please, at least carry bear spray.
