When the opportunity to create a documentary about Mount Denali came my way, I had two choices: fly to Alaska or drive. I chose to drive. That decision transformed what could have been a straightforward work trip into an unforgettable adventure—one that tested my limits, deepened my bond with my dad, and left me with memories I’ll carry for the rest of my life.
When you drive to Alaska, the road has a way of leaving its mark on you. It’s not just the miles you cover but the moments that make you stop, look around, and truly feel the scale of the world. On my drive, there were three experiences that stood out and defined the journey: standing at the Canada-Alaska border, driving those endless highways that stretch into the wilderness, and seeing my first glacier. Each of these moments wasn’t just beautiful—they were unforgettable.
If you’re thinking about traveling to Alaska, there’s a choice you’ll have to make: fly or drive. For me, the decision to drive wasn’t just about getting there—it was about everything that happens along the way. Choosing to drive instead of fly let me feel the sheer vastness of Alaska, experience the wild beauty as it unfolded, and share an unforgettable journey with my dad. What could have been a quick flight turned into a trip I’ll never forget.
