This video is about life in Southeast Alaska with an epic jet boat trip up the Stikine River, including navigating Alpine Creek and then going further up the river to the Canadian border on Day 1 of a two day trip from Wrangell, Alaska.

I love the teal colored water and how shallow the water is in places. Beautiful and spectacular!

Yes, the color in the water is gorgeous, and such beautiful surroundings up that creek.

More recently, we found another sandy island a little bit farther up the river by the Canadian border and we always hang out there now. It’s a great place to camp.

Oh WOW...and a frog at the end! I am still dreaming of owning a boat...wish I could go back in time, and not buy my little Yanmar 1401 tractor with rototiller! I could be fishing right now if only I had thought ahead!

A tractor is a good useful tool! The boat can come later. There were those cute little frogs everywhere and we had to be extra careful where we stepped. That was an amazing trip.

This is awesome. The more you show of this area the more I want to float it in my canoe. I told my friend at work about it . The water looks so clean. Really awesome that you went straight across the border. Is the slash line just to mark the border or do they use it for power lines or something? Really cool but it does kind of just "slash" through the wilderness. Anyway I would love to float across the border in that kind of scenery just to say I did. You kind of had me hung with the end and having to wait to see the inside of the cabin and all. Waiting to see that video for sure.

Paxtiano Dirt Frog people say that it’s an awesome canoe trip. You should watch videos on canoeing the Stikine so that I’m not responsible for your death 😬 but they say that the trip down from Telegraph is totally doable. That slash line just marks the border as far as I understand; seems like they could have just put up a couple of signs, but maybe there’s more to it than I know. I didn’t take any pictures of inside the cabin because I was pretty distracted by the mosquitoes around the place, and we decided that it would have been better to camp out on our sandy island instead. That next video mostly will show our climb up Shakes Waterfall and it’s pretty darn cool!

You have to have a jet boat running the stikine and tributaries because of the shallow water and glacier silt colored main river! Get it now?😉😳

Yep, having a jet skiff is a must if you want to go up places like Alpine Creek 🌊

Thanks, that was a killer trip. Yeah, it’s a jet skiff so it can run in just a few inches of water as long as we’re going really fast. This is a typical boat that people here build just for the purpose of running up the Stikine River.

It is impressive for sure, could you tell me anything about Thoms Place area? I would like to buy a piece of ground in that area. Thanks

@@waynewoodward2313 Thoms is a nice area. There is no road system or services down that far on Wrangell Island. You have to own a boat because it’s a long trip up Zimovia Strait to town, and although the ride is usually fine during the summer, it can blow up and get sketchy during the winter. I’ve been there when there were lots of bugs during the summer, so there’s that. You would definitely want to visit before buying because there might be issues with boat access to the property etc.
