Beautiful. Watching this makes me wish I was there.

Very nice AK. Your fall colors, mostly yellow, are almost identical to our fall colors, also yellow.

akdrone, you always have great videos to share…the colours are soooo awesome to take in…having that bit of green mixed in really makes it too.

Nice video, you are about two weeks ahead of us on the fall colors. Ours here in Northern Ontario are just starting. We also have mostly yellow colors up here from the poplar trees that make up a lot of the forest.

I've spent a lifetime outdoors in many different geographies and one thing I've learned is there's always something anywhere. Life, nature, and land always offer places to focus

I loved that video....without looking it up isn't that River somewhere around Fairbanks?

I spent 5 years in Juneau. That seemed like 77 months of winter. Juneau was essentially a semi-frozen terrarium hard to escape. It was a place of two seasons: winter and road repair. And a place of twists....when friends and family would visit they'd often ask to see bald eagles...so I'd take them to the dump. You could see them there only 20 feet away. Of course, it was much better to see them by a river

this was in the 80's long before camera drones, but If I would have had one back then, it would have been awesome, and likely have altered my perspective. The mountains, the glaciers, the rivers, the sea, the wildlife....all of it was awesome and if you haven't ever seen Alaska you owe yourself a trip. A long trip because there is a whole lot of Alaska. Take mosquito repellent though, and never hike alone in bear country while making sure you're always hiking with a slower runner

The Nenana river runs down from Broad Pass, south of Denali Park and through the town of Nenana where it joins into the Tanana River that flows into the Yukon. Nenana is about 50mi south of Fairbanks down the Parks Hwy on the way to Anchorage (which is just south of Alaska

) Alaska is indeed a wonderful place and I'm happy to live here.

I'm sure I have posted a link to this young couples youtube videos but if not here it is again. If you like Alaska and seeing some really great scenery then check them out. They live off grid and share their lives in their videos.
