Glaciers and Jetboats

Scott — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 21:53:19 +0000

Join Scott as he travels to Wrangell, then takes a journey on the Chutine Warrior jet boat up the Stikine River for another adventure in SE Alaska. Alaska HDTV returns to Wrangell, Alaska for another multi-part video adventure series with our friends Jim & Wilma Leslie at Alaska Waters

In this episode, Scott introduces the show from Chief Shakes Island in Wrangell. After a brief history lesson about Shakes Island and Wrangell, Scott meets up with Jim Leslie (owner of Alaska Waters) to kick off the Stikine River day tour.

After a tour of the river, the jet boat makes its way up toward Chief Shakes Glacier. Even though the boat wasn’t able to get all the way up to the face of the glacier, Scott and the other guests were able to get a hands on experience with the icebergs! We always have a wonderful time in Wrangell and the folks at the Stikine Inn are doing a wonderful job of restoring their hotel. Stop in and get a first class massage or visit their new bar/lounge and look out over the bay!

Wrangell-St. Elias National Park

Scott — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 22:03:03 +0000

I’ve been flying over Alaska a good part of my life, but if I had to choose one word to describe this corner of Alaska it would be EPIC. This is a place that’s obtainable for just about anyone, and the adventure options are incredible! There’s not a lot to say here, other than if you’re looking for that ultimate Alaska experience this park is for you.

This second part of our trip was with St. Elias Alpine Guides, and they took me beyond my expectations and any National Park experience I’ve pursued in my life. I hope this show we produced plants a seed and gets you out there to play a little.

On a personal note. I’ve found a place that has touched me beyond what I can articulate. This is a place I will return for years to come, perhaps a second home someday if I’m so blessed.

Enjoy the show!
