As of 2021, the bus no longer goes all the way to Eielson Visitor Center like it did in the video. The road washed out and it has not been fixed yet so it only goes about 45 miles in. You can see current road conditions here - www.nps.gov/dena/planyourvisit/conditions.htm

The one thing I enjoy the most from watching almost all your videos is your relationship with your dad.

We just returned from our trip to AK. Best trip ever! We spent 4 days at Camp Denali and were treated to three spectacular days of Denali viewing. So blessed 😊 Love your relationship with your dad.

Fabulous! The clouds make the mountains look even more mystical and dreamy. Glad you got your great camera shots.

I took this bus out to Polychrome overlook, then my group spent the rest of the day hiking to the summit of polychrome mountain. It was an amazing day that I clearly remember 30 years later. I would go back tomorrow if I could.

Beautiful. My son is on a three-day backpacking hike in Denali right now!

I can't describe how I feel when I watch this video except to say that it was fab! Thanks so much for sharing your way of seeing the world with us!

My son jus left to work at Denali Natl. Park for the summer. Amazing.

2019 We did the train ride from anchorage to Denali National park. The next morning did the 8 hour bus tour into the park. Loved it!!! We also stayed with a pilot friend who took us flying while we were in Alaska. Best trip ever!

hands down my favorite national park! Other national parks are really awesome too, but once i laid my eyes on Denali, i was instantly taken captive. We went on a September day, by then Alaska interior was already in full autumn mode, and you can just see the entire tundra turning red and orange and yellow. We were the lucky few to have gotten a cloudless view of Denali the entire day, which is atypical of autumn in Alaska. Except maybe Yellowstone, i've never seen so many wildlife elsewhere. And the kennel gave me a new found appreciation of the hard-working rangers and dogs.

Stunning footage, and to experience that with your Dad (pops) is magical, I really hope you can keep making these videos and memories. Utterly smitten with the landscape. Russ from the UK

In 1983, before Memorial Day and after Labor Day, you could drive your vehicle all the way to Wonder Lake. My wife and I went all the way in and camped overnight in our camper shell. It was an amazing time. I don’t know if you can still do that or not. Bet no.

This video was wonderful as I am currently planning a trip to Denali with my brother and his wife. My nephew is a chef and will be working at one of the results near the park. We are going to roadtrip from Arizona and so your videos have been very helpful so far. I must admit that I got emotional when you showed the initial view of Denali as Alaska has been on my list to explore for my entire life and I know that Denali will be my highlight. Thanks again.

Thank you for the video. I took the bus tour in 1988. I had no info about it and ended up have no food or water for the entire drive but it was still one of my lifes highlights. And it doesn't look too much different. The clouds broke just as we got to the turn around point so I did get to see the summit. Thanks again, it brought back some great memories.

On the day we took our ride on the green bus at Denali, it was nothing but clouds. Fortunately, on the following day we did a helicopter flight, with a cloudless sky, and Denali was out in all her glory. One of the best excursions I’ve ever been on and one I’ll never forget. Happy/safe travels to you and your dad!

I’m moving to Alaska in 5 months and I’m living around wasilla or anchorage so I’m definitely gonna go there like all the time

Have done this and it was amazing! A trip I won’t ever forget! Saw moose, grizzly, Dahl sheep (far away up on the mountainside), some birds., caribou. The guides are very watchful …. Listen to the rules and follow them people! Keep this final frontier pristine! Amazing views.

LOL. You mentioned the spot where you stopped and saw Denali and mentioned you weren't supposed to stop there. It looked familiar, so I scrolled through my Alaska pictures on my phone (from June 2019). I have pictures from the same spot. Our driver also told us, "We really aren't supposed to stop here, but I'm gonna cuz y'all are cool and we can really see the mountain. Make it quick so I don't get in trouble."

great as always. say hello to your dad from Egypt. thank you .

Woe, what an amazing view you got! I live in Alaska. and every time I go up to Denali, I never get it to see it! It is always cloudy and rainy! lol. But I can see it 300 miles away on a clear day! Being able to see the mountain like that up close is incredibly rare! It's so cool you got that footage!

What a magical park! So cool you get to experience this all with your dad.

Wow! What a great trip! I’m so glad that when Denali was designed that they kept it wild and purposely has only one limited access road in the whole park. Like the Northern Cascades national park, limited access is a virtue

Love your videos ! You have a nice easy listening to voice which make it enjoyable ! Love Pop's ! You will never forget these memories with your Dad !

The magic of Denali. There's so many thoughtful comments from folks who have seen Danali in person but who come back to watch videos to experience it again. Loving your videos 🇨🇦 👋

This is one of the best videos that you ever done, Josh. Amazing views of Denali. This is going on my bucket list.

Youseriously have one of the BEST channels on YT!!! It should be millions of subcribers! Thank you for the awesome and endearing content! Take Dad to Siberia or Everest!!! :)

We loved our stay in Denali. Would highly recommend taking the longer 12 or so hour tour (Kantishna Experience). The scenery and animal sightings beyond the visitor center is epic. Ticked off just about all the animal sightings and the tour guide was fantastic. We did ours at the end of their season.

I'm panning next summer 2022 for my 50's go to Alaska. .First stop! Denali on the green bus! ... Thanks for this beautiful video..

I worked at Denali National Park back in 1982. I went camping every weekend and you don't need a flashlight because it's sunny all day in summer. Alaska is truly the last frontier. Epic!

Just got back. We were only able to see Denali from Anchorage. We did go in 92.5 miles and spent a couple of nights there. While we were there it was decided to close that end of the road because it couldn’t be repaired. They are working on a solution. We left on a Thursday and the lodges were being closed Friday, 3 weeks before the end of the season. Snow was expected. The trip out was very harrowing. It could be 1 to 3 years before it is reopened. There is a charter flight service back there. Maintenance crews winterizing the lodges will come out that way. Our bus was brown and probably one of the last two out. I enjoyed your video and will look forward to watching more of them.

old age ; who knows how long we got in this mortal world My son died when he was 34. Just one more I love you .

great share, I took this tour in 2018 , glad to see even with the pandemic that the bus is full. We took the bus and rode the entire road 92.5 miles with a lunch and tour guild, was the best time and saw so much beauty along the way. Making lots of stops for photos, bathroom breaks and when ever with saw wildlife. Met so many people from around the world. But the main focus was the beautiful and breathtaking Denali Mountain. It was a clear day so we saw all three mountains. This was a once in a life time adventure. Took the train from Anchorage to Denali, everyone do this at least once. Great share and incredible father and son bond...stay safe in 2021 thanks👍👍👍👊👊👊

I went this summer on one of those buses. There was a stretch of road that was on a ledge with tons of road work that was frightening!

So lucky to get that clear view of the incredible peak!! What a great tour!! Love it!!😍😍

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. My dad was stationed in Alaska in the mid '50's in the Army before it was a state. He always talked about how beautiful it was but we haven't made it up there.

I used to take the buses out and get dropped off for backcountry backpacking trips. It was amazing.

The colors of this landscape wonderful and the wildlife is epic. I keep going back and rewatching this Alaska footage again and again. I also enjoy the good humored teasing that you and Pops engage in as well as the enjoyment you seem to get out these experiences and each other.

I love the relationship between you & your Dad! I love my Dad that way- we are always together with the grandkids- God Bless you guys!!

That 2nd bear was very healthy. Plump in the spring time even! Prime of his life

I just trampled on your channel lately and already watched some videos and found them very nice, amusing and informative.. Your Dad and you seem very nice and humble guys.. I live at the other side of the world in the middle east and I have been to the US only for a few weeks many years ago but I am really enjoying your videos which show the beauty of your country and people..

Brings back memories. We lucked out back in 2006 and got a cloud-free view of Denali for a couple of days. Took a small plane over the mountain, stayed at the lodge overnight, hiked around the next morning, then took the bus back to the train station. Saw so much wildlife! Also saw a lot of sea life around Juneau that same vacation. All was well worth it!

Epic that you get to see Denali

Thanks for this video. We took it in '21 and stayed inside for 3 or 4 days of hiking. We were lucky to see Denali for a few minutes, while going for a hike. I highly recommend Alaska as a once in a lifetime experience. We did all 8 National Parks in Alaska on that wild trip. Katmai was fulll of Grizzly Bears. There is something special about each park. Do it.

It such a very nice stunning Denali. Love it

Best 8 hrs I've ever spent. Take the narrated tour.

Yayy, Pops is back! Awsome video♡♡

Thank you for taking me on another vacation. :) This was a great video.

I loved this video. 10 years ago in 2001 my daughter and I along with my one year old grandson did this same bus ride. We saw many animals, made some wonderful memories. Thank you for bringing back those memories.

Your trips are very informative, especially ur with ur dad. How awesome is that, you're fortunate

Your narration and abstract videos are always worth watching . Amazing to see your respect towards your dad while traveling , keep it up man 👍👏

Stunning scenery!

I love the relationship you and your dad have thanks again for a great trip.

Excellent video! I took the Green Bus tour in 2015, and we were fortunate enough to be a part of the 30% club that got to see the whole mountain. This brings back wonderful memories of that tour. Thanks for a great video!

This is so so epic. Thanks for another amazing video

Awesome trip and beautiful views. 8 hours is a long time but seeing this, I would say, it is worth it!

Was on a cruise-land tour of Denali. We got to the gravel road area and turned around but we did get to see Denali in the distance. Would loved to have been on the green bus that day. It was an awesome experience.

You have a wonderfully positive perspective and tone that you communicate through your videos. I love your videos! The videography is professional, the audio is fabulous, the words you share are informative, and you pair it all together in a fashion that makes it easy to both watch and enjoy. I also like that you take moments to not talk so we can just enjoy the scenery.🏞🗻🏕🌐 Thank you for putting professional and clean content on this media platform. The first video I watched of yours was your tour of Route 66. I stumbled across that video and that's how I found your channel. I am happily subscribed.

Denali is one of the most impressive mountains in the world! From base to summit it is way taller than Everest. Glad you got to see it!

I have watched many many of your wonderful videos but all on my AppleTV which does not allow commenting. I purposely sought this ability on my iPhone because I want you to know my thoughts. Every video is superbe. Your gentle approach and commentary are so enjoyable to watch. I love how you and your Dad explore your venues and I enjoy how you each comment on the foods you enjoy. But without a doubt the most enjoyable moments, and there are so many, are when you call your Dad “Pops”. Your bond is so refreshing!

I'm happy you two were able too see Denali. What a View!

I was in alaska last summer on a bus tour did the bus tour in denali beautiful scenery back there

How fortunate with the weather! Looked amazing, thanks for sharing.

Thank You for letting me relive my trip to Denali. We stayed at the same hotel/motel. We did not see Denali, but we did see wolves. Thank you.

Polychrome Pass is my favorite part of that drive.

You are so lucky! What a great video. Thank you!

We just got back from Alaska, and already miss it all and especially Denali. We did this same trek on August 11 and it was amazing to see Denali from the bus, as every other day we were there, no matter the location, we did not get to see Denali. Such a great place. Cheers!

So glad I found your channel. I’m hooked

Been wanting to go back to Alaska since 2007. This would be a great trip for sure. Glad you were able to experience this with your dad. Cherish these moments bud.

Thanks for sharing!! Green bus seems a good option!! Will be helpful for my trip next year

Omgoshhh I can't wait to go there,,what a relationship you have w your dad..I love it

That was fun. What a happy and pretty trip.

That looked like fun! Great video. Thanks!

Very beautiful thanks 👍 from New Mexico awesome

Gorgeous scenery, nice presentation!

Beautiful thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing these amazing pics, Josh. I had not idea about how this place actually looks like.

So incredible View of Denali!!! We didn’t get to see this in our July visit, thanks you very much for sharing.

looks amazing

Great video! I watched your NC videos before we visited and now this one!!😊🙌

Amazing place!!❤❤❤

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing.

Great info about the park. Enjoyed your videos and calming voice.

So epic! Thank you for sharing, I’m definitely inspired to get there!

Tremendous footage Josh! Loved the bear shots too! Stunning! Sharing this on the facebook group!

A great video and brings back lots of memories on my trip into Denali with my son in 1992. We also had a grizzly on the road, but it was chasing a moose straight towards our bus. The driver said she had never seen anything like it. The moose got away and then the bear came back and walked beside our bus. I got great photos with my zoom lens. I actually zoomed in close enough to get a photo of his open moth and incisors. We also got to see Denali.

So happy to find your video on AK. We got to re-live our Ak trip (June 2021). We loved touring around AK.

Wow!!!! Just wow.

Took the same ride in 1973 and it is much the same today. On our trip a huge grizzly crossed the road in front of the bus. It was at the visitor's center that I saw a bald eagle for the first time. Thanks for bringing it all back.

Love your videos. You have such good vibes :) Keep up the good work

I have enjoyed every one of your videos that I've watched. Have driven some of the same roads with my son. You'll have to enter the Denali Road Lottery and return. What a hoot!!!

Thats amazing, just phenomenal view of mountians without trees obscuring the views

This was so dope, Josh! Glad ya'll had a near-perfect day at Denali!

Wow, wow, wow. You and your dad were sooo lucky. Fantastic video and stills. Thanks so much!

I’m so glad I saw this video. I just came back from Alaska and the closed the road in Denali at mile 42 bec of a landslide. So We missed all the views after mile 42. But we were lucky enough to see Denali from Anchorage in a clear day.

You are so lucky to see Denali on the day! I worked in Denali for a summer years ago, and as I remember, it was raining a lot. Since then I visited Denali several times. I was obsessed to capture Denali at sunset, so I camped at Wonder Lake for 5 night in order to increase the odds. Surprisingly, Denali was out for entire 5 days!! I was successfully photographed Denali from many different locations. Thanks for sharing your video!

Great video I live here and will never leave

Wheelchair accessible is great. Thanks for info. ❤️🇨🇦

Wow, what an amazing trip 🥰

Wow! You lucked out!! Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing! We were also there the end of August and it was too cloudy unfortunately. We did see the base from the visitor center and luckily did a flight over it on a crystal clear day a few days later! Gorgeous! Unfortunately we did see construction on polychrome pass and the guide explained that the permafrost is melting and the road sank 10 inches the week before. 4 days after we drove over the pass they closed the road for the rest of the season. They aren’t sure how they are going to maintain the road in the future as it has been sinking more over the last 5 years with the permafrost melting. I hope they figure something out for next year. Road will be closed up to mile 43 I think they said. So sad. Everything after polychrome pass was so gorgeous! I am so glad that we decided to get off at polychrome on the way back and explore for 40 minutes before another bus came by. Thankful it had seats! What a feeling being alone out there! So gorgeous! Thanks again for sharing!

Always a good day when Through My Lens posts a new video
