Really enjoying your journey. I appreciate the length of your videos; I generally don't watch any longer than 30 min; 20 min is just right. That said, I'd love to hear more about the Kenai Fjords boat tour. But I see you linked some Google Maps info about the Kenai National Park.
Amazing scenery. It kind of reminds me of the Ice fields parkway between Lake Louise in Banff National Park to the town of Jasper in Jasper National park.
They have a similar set up for the Columbia Glacier in Jasper National park with posted years showing where the Glacier has been over the years. When I first drove up to the Columbia Glacier back in 2001/2002, A person could walk up the drumlin and directly onto the ice. Now, the Glacier has receded so much that there is unstable ground between the Drumlin and Glacier. A tour bus still drives up to point further up the glacier where they can walk on the ice. Not sure how long that will last.
Had to stop watching and comment .....Your smile and true LOVE and appriciation of ur surroundings is part of what makes me want to keep watching!!!! So Honoured you have shared this! Thank You🙏🫂🇨🇦
Fantastic video, You have a beautiful talent as a videographer. I've lived in Northern Alberta for 44 years, and now you have me questioning myself why I haven't made the short drive to Alaska!!! What the heck...
It's a nice trip. I'm staying north-east Canada and we could think it's alike but it's not. Alaska seems very special and i think i'll have to drive there later.
i love your excitment. i live in bc and see that type of stuff daily. When i see it thru your eyes i am reminded to not take it for granted. thank you for that!
Your enthusiasm is so joyful. Thanks for these vlogs. My late wife and I visited Alaska in the 1980s. Truly a sensational place. John, Ontaario, Canada
Hi! Just discovered your channel - enjoying your videos. Lots of back catalogue to watch. On your way back through Canada try a Coffee Crisp chocolate bar, if you haven't tried one yet. Only in Canada. Safe travels.
Back in 2007, I drove out to Tafino on Vancouver Island in BC and was just awestruck. I too took a boat tour but on high speed rubber boat. It was October so the Orcas were already gone but there were still other whales around, I think Pacific Right whales. After whale watching, we went over to a kelp grove where the sea otters were hanging out. The swell picked up so the boat was on the top of one wave while the otters were on top of the other. As we sank down the wave, the otters stretched their necks to watch us. After the otters, a large seal tried to jump into the boat and we explored nearby island full of seals and one with Bald Eagles on it. On the way back to the dock, the sea got rough and very bumpy. I had a fantastic time.
Welcome! Come visit in December, January and February. It’s beautiful in its own way, but the lack of sunshine and daylight can be hard to live through year after year. I Moved here with my horse a year out of High School and been here for 32 years now.
I spent years working in alaska. Its so beautiful there. Glad you drove the old seward highway, a lot places to pull over and look around. Portage glacier was my favorite.
Wonderful video. I love Alaska so much, I would go there every year if I could. Your video really shows the beauty of the place. Glad you enjoyed your trip so much. Thank you!
@@LidiaExplores Thank you~fellow nature lover! I live next to Wallace Falls State Park...some great waterfalls. I'm older and not flirting but you may enjoy pics while there if you reside in WA..I do like your Energy~
That little cabin is so cute looks whimsical. Im living in Alberta Canada but bought an acre of land 10 minute drive east from Sicamous BC. Next time your in BC check out the area between Malakwa and Salmon arm BC...its absolutely beautiful!❤
It kills me seeing you all bundled up, and I am currently living in shorts. My dad's first cousin lives just outside of Fairbanks in North Pole. He once told Pop that he could gas up his ATV, ride and not see another person until he came home. They had a creek run through their back yard, and there would always be a moose eating and wading in the creek. Alaska is where Bob Ross was stationed when he was in the Airforce. He fell in love with the mountains...they were so different from what he saw growing up in Florida. I would need 3 lifetimes to live in all the places that I find intriguing. Wonderful video!
Thank you! I feel the same way. So many interesting places to see. I didn't know Bob Ross was stationed there! Hope you're staying indoors. I am not looking forward to going back south!
Thanks for posting this video! I was lucky enough to have visited Alaska in 2018. We drove to Bellingham Washington and caught a car ferry up to Haines Alaska. We picked up the Alaska Highway at Haines Junction YT. It was amazing and we too stopped for the night at Beaver Creek YT. Such wonderful memories and thanks for sharing your beautiful vacation video!!
This is a little piece of brilliance. You should be a maker of documentaries. I appreaciate the fact that you speak French, and your humanity to the cyclists. I admire your moxie to take on this great trip and your generosity to share it with us. Thank. you. Like 1000X.
I've done that drive both ways and found that because of the slope of the mountains things look completely different. In one direction the mountains look very craggy and rough while the other way everything looks very rounded, if that makes any sense. 😊
I live in Yukon, which seems a lot like Alaska, but way fewer people! I once drove on the highway for 295km before seeing another vehicle. I love the space, and freedom in the North.
I am so excited for your adventures. I saw your daughter and your reason for travel and 1) your daughter is adorable and 2) completely agree life is short and we are not guaranteed tomorrow. Your videos are great. I am planning my trip in 7 months after I finish my orders so your videos are very helpful as I plan my life in a Subaru with a cat. Sending good vibes.
Watch all your Alaska VLOG. Inspired us to go to Alaska. We are now driving to Alaska. Motels seem hard to find IE some full. What was the water glassier tour in Seward you took. There are several.
Maybe someday you can make it to remote Alaska. Bethel, Kotzebue, Nome, Barrow. This is the lesser known regions but give you. A new understanding of what Alaska is really like
Just the other day it was almost 90degrees and with the sun barely going down that heat can last for over 10 hours a day. In Late December and January though it can easily be -30F for a week on end, and the sun might pop up over the mountain for 3 hours.
After 12 and 1/2 trips up and back, (flew back on the 1/2 trip) your trip was a cake walk compared to my first one. My daughter said, “Dad, there are 2 seasons in Alaska, winter and construction.” My last trip still had some areas between Haines Junction and Beaver Creek, but the area between Toc and Glenallen had a zone heavily heaved and thawed plus earthquake damaged. Found out that area with the most damage was in an earthquake active zone, my son-in-law driving back up home from Spokane bent his camper tie-downs up going over the earthquake damaged area that particular year. Then every time he went over much of a bump, the camper bounced up in the truck bed. My wife and other people who went with me on different trips were totally impressed with the beauty of Alaska and Canada. Wife made 4 different trips with me, then decided that flying was a much better option 😊. Another couple I had worked with before I retired made 2 trips back and forth with me, since, seems no one is really interested in making the trip again 😢. And it’s smart to keep your gas tank full, and would be a good idea to have an extra spare tire, one for sure, but 2 are good insurance, experience taught me that. Seems like you are enjoying the experience, even though it may be tense at times, but you will have great memories for a lifetime 😊.
You need to drive the Sea To Sky Highway - from Vancouver to Whistler. You will see roadside waterfalls, views of mountains and glaciers - and beautiful mountain lakes, bald eagle habitats, bears, elk - and The Black Tusk . . . You really don't have to go as far as Alaska . . .
Yes, and Vancouver Island also has loads of waterfalls, mountains, ocean, and even a glacier within view of one of the oceanside cities. One of the things we always do (when we're not in the middle of a drought), is count all the roadside waterfalls between Nanaimo and Victoria, particularly going over the Malahat Mountain area of the highway. There is an abundance of wildlife on the island also. We frequently have bears and cougars coming into town, even into the heart of Victoria, and marine life that you can easily see from the beaches. Alaska isn't that different, just less people, colder and more rain.
It looks like you had a fair bit of rain on your trip. It might not have been as pleasant.. But the pictures and views over the bays with the low hanging clouds were beautiful. I think I appreciate them more than if it was clear and sunny. Enjoy your trip home.
Yes, this IS all beautiful. I was up there in 1996 and plan to go back next summer. If you enjoyed the scenery here, you would love New Zealand. I recall one stop I made on the South Island where I didn't even bother trying to count the waterfalls in view.
I just retired and have been traveling for two years now in my camper van. Holy crap why didn,t I do this earlier. The whole worlds yours to see. Wasted to much time working and buying crap I didn,t need. Have fun on your travels.
I hope this trip whets your appetite for more travel. I can assure you that there’re beautiful places all over the world and it concerns me that Americans d travel as much as they should. Keep it up I think you are fantastic and so positive about everything. It’s the attitude you need for travel.
Been watching your Alaska exploration. I see an adult behind the wheel when the car is rolling down the road.. I believe that is you. 🤔But when you stop..who is that wide eyed, totally awestruck child that exits the car and walks around in unspeakable amazement!?!?🤗 Thank you for sharing this spectacular slice of your wonderful life experience. All the best of health, long life and prosperity to you and yours. Miles O' Smiles to you as well.👍
Beautiful scenery, if you really enjoy this type of scenery and want an adventure, you should considertravelling up the east coast of the continent into Labrador, through Nova Scotia, to the Ferry. Return via the Gaspe to Quebec city, as I see your Francais is quite good. Safe and happy travels Lidia.
Come back through Dawson Creek and the to Grand Prairie, South to Calgary and Banff. Highway 93 back home the roads are better. Your a flower, plant your feet anywhere. Love from Calgary
I'm in Vancouver, Canada and i miss seeing the wet rain you have up there! It's hot n dry down here and it looks soooo cool n refreshing up there! I definitely want to follow your footsteps to explore Alaska in all its glory! Best wishes on the rest of your trip!
Five stars for describing your trek in a positive way. As a single woman traveling to Alaska you did a great job of not whining about temporary problems. I am an veteran of the Alaska Highway. I have such wonderful memories of the beauty and serenity of my trips etched in my mind. A similar trip you may want to consider is the highway south into Patagonia in Chile. Like Alaska, Chile will blow your mind. Never stop being an adventuer, it will keep you young at heart. You can lose all your money but your memories are yours forever.
Thanks for watching! There were a few years of my life where I stopped adventuring. It was terrible! Once I was able to get back to it, I knew I'd never let anything stop me again. Money is a renewable resource. Time is not.
Alaska is One of The Most Majestic Beautiful Places on Earth !! (along side Our Yukon ) ~ Your Vid. is bringing back Beautiful Memories, as One is so far from Home, but the Majesty of IT ALL REMAINS !! :))
Just wait until you get to see the scenery along the main highway through BC to Alaska - I dont know which route you took but you missed the most beautiful part of the Canadian Rockies.
I've only seen your going to Alaska. Don't know if you drove the part of the Alaska Highway on your way back. If you drive back on the Alaska Highway you will see beautiful Muncho Lake and Liard River Hotsprings, a must. Just for your readers there is a gas station, just past the intersection of the Cassiar and the Alaska Highway. Because it is in the Yukon Territory the gas is cheaper. Having driven the Alasksa Highway over 30+ times roundtrip, you missed a lot on the lower part of the higway you bypassed. Also, if you go to Grand Prarie, AB, you can go south to Hinton, AB. From there you can go to Jasper and drive down the spine of the Canadian Rockies through Jasper and Banff.
I did drive the entire Alaska Highway on my way back down. I visited Muncho Lake and Liard River Hot Springs. I also saw Sign Post Forest. I went to Edmonton because I have family there. There is still so much more to see in Alberta though. I'll have to make another trip!
Are you going to visit Whittier and its really cool railroad/vehicular tunnel (the Anton Anderson memorial tunnel)? I've seen it on youtube and there are few things like it.
Alaska could be its own country. I think there was allot of Canadians in the west who felt that Alaska should have been a Canadian province. But the USA was smart and claimed it for themselves (though we all enjoy it) At one time in our group of friends, Alaska still belonged to Siberia, The USA and Canada all at once.
Thanks for the heads up. It is not illegal. You need to have a permit for commercial filming though. I made this video when my channel was still not monetized. Moving forward, I will have to contact any national park ahead of time if I want to film.
Thank you so much! The videos are a couple weeks behind real time due to the time it takes to edit them. I have since been through Alberta. I have family there I hadn't seen in many years, so I stopped briefly for a visit.
So what. The glaciers have been building up for eons and reseeding for eons. This is how Our Creator created this earth and the glaciers. You and I had nothing to do with. Man did not cause climate change, we aren't that powerful. SMH

The algorithm revealed your channel & now I am subscribed watching from Fort Kent Maine
Thank you for watching! Maine is a beautiful state.
Just discovered you. Love the video. You have a beautiful smile 🙂

It's a nice trip. I'm staying north-east Canada and we could think it's alike but it's not. Alaska seems very special and i think i'll have to drive there later.
Alaska was amazing. It was definitely worth visiting, even with the long drive.
i love your excitment. i live in bc and see that type of stuff daily. When i see it thru your eyes i am reminded to not take it for granted. thank you for that!
BC is incredible! It is interesting how quickly we forget to appreciate those types of things, isn't it?
Love your videos. Specially the music selection.
Thank you!
Your happiness, makes me smile. Let's get you to tthat 1000 subscribers !!
Just got there. Thank you!

Thank you! I live for adventure! 😃
Enjoying your journey.
Thanks!
It's difficult to define beauty and more so when you actually witness it.
This is high quality content. Someday the algorithm is going to bless you and your subscriber count is going to blow up.
Jasper to Banff to Cranbrook to Osoyoos. Then either into US or to Vancouver.
Hope so. Thank you so much for watching!
Love your enthusiasm, love your smile.
Hi! Just discovered your channel - enjoying your videos. Lots of back catalogue to watch. On your way back through Canada try a Coffee Crisp chocolate bar, if you haven't tried one yet. Only in Canada. Safe travels.
Yes, I actually did try one. It was good!
Keep ‘em coming. Good work.
Thank you!
Wow, your videos are amazing. I’m hooked. 😊
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Gorgeous scenery. Loving this adventure. ❤🎉
Alaska is beautiful. TY for sharing. ❤
Very positive and uplifting. I wish everyone could have such a wonderful attitude to life.
Thank you so much!
Hi, I just came across your channel and seeing Alaska at its best is mesmerizing. I can’t wait to see your next video 👍🏾

That drive is absolutely incredible. Awesome you got to spend so many years up there! I would love to go back.
your smile is infectious.
Awww, thank you!
So beautiful ❤ minus the bumpy road, makes me want to road trip again 😊
I love being out on the road. Road tripping is the best!
Fun vid. Thx for sharing your adventure. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉
Wonderful video. I love Alaska so much, I would go there every year if I could. Your video really shows the beauty of the place. Glad you enjoyed your trip so much. Thank you!
It was an amazing experience. I'd like to go back too! There's so much I didn't see.
That’s great Ms.aguirre! I enjoyed watching and it’s nice to see you still traveling and living life. Much love back from Dallas ❤🙏
So good to hear from you! Thank you. Hope you've been well!
Love it~ Nature is alive! Great job w your photography.
Thank you so much!
@@LidiaExplores Thank you~fellow nature lover! I live next to Wallace Falls State Park...some great waterfalls. I'm older and not flirting but you may enjoy pics while there if you reside in WA..I do like your Energy~
Your smile is fantastic.
That little cabin is so cute looks whimsical. Im living in Alberta Canada but bought an acre of land 10 minute drive east from Sicamous BC. Next time your in BC check out the area between Malakwa and Salmon arm BC...its absolutely beautiful!❤
Thanks for sharing your experience and trip ! I'm planning to go so this helps.
Thanks for watching! I definitely recommend spending a couple days in Seward during your trip.
You’re so authentic!! ☮️💕💕💕
It kills me seeing you all bundled up, and I am currently living in shorts. My dad's first cousin lives just outside of Fairbanks in North Pole. He once told Pop that he could gas up his ATV, ride and not see another person until he came home.

If you think thats pretty you should detour through to Jasper Alberta on your way back and head south through Banff national park towards Banff.
Everyone needs to experience Jasper and Banff, she can soak away in the hot springs…I hope she takes your advice… 🤞🏻
Wish I had time for this trip, but I'm on my way to pick my daughter back up now. Banff National Park is definitely on my list for the future!
@@LidiaExploresyou should consider Jasper too. It's a little less tourist trap than Banff is. They're both beautiful in different ways.
I've done that drive both ways and found that because of the slope of the mountains things look completely different. In one direction the mountains look very craggy and rough while the other way everything looks very rounded, if that makes any sense. 😊
@@LidiaExploresI second that Jasper recommendation. It’s absolutely jaw dropping views, scenery and wildlife. Have to do it at least once.
I live in Yukon, which seems a lot like Alaska, but way fewer people! I once drove on the highway for 295km before seeing another vehicle. I love the space, and freedom in the North.
It sounds like a wonderful place to live. I really enjoyed seeing a bit of Yukon on my drive up.
Fun stuff, memories of my Wife & I's trip from Vancouver, BC to AK in 2016. We also did the Kenai Fjords cruise, it was great :)
Yes, I loved that tour!
Too bad you did this trip alone . Thx 4 the vid .
Oh, I LOVE solo travel. I do it every summer. I always enjoy the journey. Thanks for watching!

Alaska! We may all need to move there if it gets any hotter here in the "south". I'm loving watching how much you are enjoying your travels.
Alaska is amazing! I am taking my time heading south. Not ready for the heat!
Just the other day it was almost 90degrees and with the sun barely going down that heat can last for over 10 hours a day.

You need to drive the Sea To Sky Highway - from Vancouver to Whistler. You will see roadside waterfalls, views of mountains and glaciers - and beautiful mountain lakes, bald eagle habitats, bears, elk - and The Black Tusk . . . You really don't have to go as far as Alaska . . .
That sounds so cool! I would love to do that. I want to go everywhere, so I would have gone to Alaska regardless. I just have a wandering spirit.
Yes, and Vancouver Island also has loads of waterfalls, mountains, ocean, and even a glacier within view of one of the oceanside cities. One of the things we always do (when we're not in the middle of a drought), is count all the roadside waterfalls between Nanaimo and Victoria, particularly going over the Malahat Mountain area of the highway.

Fantastic video!
I listened to a talking book on Libravox, book was written in 1850's, mentioned receding glaciers in New Zealand Alps..... 1850
Wow. It was such an impactful image to see those year markers throughout the park. It makes you realize how quickly a landscape can change.
It looks like you had a fair bit of rain on your trip. It might not have been as pleasant.. But the pictures and views over the bays with the low hanging clouds were beautiful. I think I appreciate them more than if it was clear and sunny.
Enjoy your trip home.
There was a lot of rain on a couple of the days, but it was still beautiful. Thank you for watching.
Yes, this IS all beautiful. I was up there in 1996 and plan to go back next summer. If you enjoyed the scenery here, you would love New Zealand. I recall one stop I made on the South Island where I didn't even bother trying to count the waterfalls in view.
I would love to visit New Zealand! It looks absolutely beautiful in pictures and videos.
@@LidiaExplores Hi Lidia, I hope you an opportunity to go to NZ! The South Island is especially lush with lots of waterfalls.
Thank you for sharing! I’ve lived in Alaska now for 32 years, and have always dreamed of going to NZ, but figured it was very similar to Alaska.
Thank you for sharing with us. New subscriber here… I love your content!
So glad to have you here! Thanks for watching.

That is amazing! It is such a freeing feeling to be out on the open road. Enjoy your travels!
thanks
I'm a new subscriber to your channel. I'm from Washimgton state but have only been as far as Vancouver B. C. I look forward to the rest of your vlogs.

I hope this trip whets your appetite for more travel. I can assure you that there’re beautiful places all over the world and it concerns me that Americans d travel as much as they should. Keep it up I think you are fantastic and so positive about everything. It’s the attitude you need for travel.
Been watching your Alaska exploration. I see an adult behind the wheel when the car is rolling down the road.. I believe that is you. 🤔But when you stop..who is that wide eyed, totally awestruck child that exits the car and walks around in unspeakable amazement!?!?🤗

Thank you. I love that childlike aspect of travel. Seeing or doing things for the first time just lights me up.
just saw you on kingas channel. fun times up there!
Yay! It was awesome meeting her! Thanks for watching. 😀
the music you chose is very good :)

I would love to do that sometime. Thank you!
Great video, so beautiful, my home state. What brought you to Alaska, sounds like this is just a vacation? I hope you explore Fairbanks.
Yes, just a vacation. I did make it up to Fairbanks briefly. I had a great time in Alaska!
Great video
Thanks!
Come back through Dawson Creek and the to Grand Prairie, South to Calgary and Banff. Highway 93 back home the roads are better. Your a flower, plant your feet anywhere. Love from Calgary
Thank you for watching! I did go back through Dawson Creek, and I got to see some new things along the way.
Oh my, Home
It is SO beautiful.
You should have enjoyed the sunny days now. Hope u get to Valdez and homer
Just a reminder your trip is happening in the summer, it’s very different in the winter
Yep!
Inspiring channel! I am planning a motorcycle trip from Nova Scotia to the Grand Canyon and maybe I will do a channel like yours. :)
Sounds awesome!
I'm in Vancouver, Canada and i miss seeing the wet rain you have up there! It's hot n dry down here and it looks soooo cool n refreshing up there! I definitely want to follow your footsteps to explore Alaska in all its glory! Best wishes on the rest of your trip!
Thank you! I hope you plan a trip up there. Alaska is amazing!
Ok, I am subscribed. Peace
Five stars for describing your trek in a positive way. As a single woman traveling to Alaska you did a great job of not whining about temporary problems. I am an veteran of the Alaska Highway. I have such wonderful memories of the beauty and serenity of my trips etched in my mind. A similar trip you may want to consider is the highway south into Patagonia in Chile. Like Alaska, Chile will blow your mind. Never stop being an adventuer, it will keep you young at heart. You can lose all your money but your memories are yours forever.
Thanks for watching! There were a few years of my life where I stopped adventuring. It was terrible! Once I was able to get back to it, I knew I'd never let anything stop me again. Money is a renewable resource. Time is not.
I say there be gold in them there hills!
nice music!
Alaska is One of The Most Majestic Beautiful Places on Earth !! (along side Our Yukon ) ~ Your Vid. is bringing back Beautiful Memories, as One is so far from Home, but the Majesty of IT ALL REMAINS !! :))
Yes, they are both such beautiful places. Glad I got to see them with my own eyes!
Just wait until you get to see the scenery along the main highway through BC to Alaska - I dont know which route you took but you missed the most beautiful part of the Canadian Rockies.
I hope your packing and have Bear spray!!!
She does not need bear spay inside the car.
@@guayabito6946 ah yes, because people come here to spend the entire time in the car
I've only seen your going to Alaska. Don't know if you drove the part of the Alaska Highway on your way back. If you drive back on the Alaska Highway you will see beautiful Muncho Lake and Liard River Hotsprings, a must. Just for your readers there is a gas station, just past the intersection of the Cassiar and the Alaska Highway. Because it is in the Yukon Territory the gas is cheaper. Having driven the Alasksa Highway over 30+ times roundtrip, you missed a lot on the lower part of the higway you bypassed. Also, if you go to Grand Prarie, AB, you can go south to Hinton, AB. From there you can go to Jasper and drive down the spine of the Canadian Rockies through Jasper and Banff.
I did drive the entire Alaska Highway on my way back down. I visited Muncho Lake and Liard River Hot Springs. I also saw Sign Post Forest. I went to Edmonton because I have family there. There is still so much more to see in Alberta though. I'll have to make another trip!
So cool you've done the drive so many times!
Are you going to visit Whittier and its really cool railroad/vehicular tunnel (the Anton Anderson memorial tunnel)? I've seen it on youtube and there are few things like it.
Sadly, no! There is just so much to do and not enough time on this trip. Just gives me an excuse to come back!
Alaska could be its own country. I think there was allot of Canadians in the west who felt that Alaska should have been a Canadian province. But the USA was smart and claimed it for themselves (though we all enjoy it) At one time in our group of friends, Alaska still belonged to Siberia, The USA and Canada all at once.
Just an FYI. It is illegal to video within US National Parks.
Thanks for the heads up. It is not illegal. You need to have a permit for commercial filming though. I made this video when my channel was still not monetized. Moving forward, I will have to contact any national park ahead of time if I want to film.
Alone, I don't believe it!
was that a blonde moose??
I passed a moose leaving Exit Glacier, but I'm not sure what kind it was.
Your content and edits are superb. Are you passing through Alberta on your way back south?
I was wondering the same. If so, she should definitely do the Jasper to Banff drive. Plus the Ice-field’s bus tour.
Thank you so much! The videos are a couple weeks behind real time due to the time it takes to edit them. I have since been through Alberta. I have family there I hadn't seen in many years, so I stopped briefly for a visit.
@@LidiaExplores darn I was ready to offer you a Tim's coffee along the way. Are you back in the USA now?
So what. The glaciers have been building up for eons and reseeding for eons. This is how Our Creator created this earth and the glaciers. You and I had nothing to do with. Man did not cause climate change, we aren't that powerful. SMH
