THE REAL ALASKA

Boasting 13.2 million acres of some of the last true wilderness in the world, Wrangell-St. Elias is the largest national park in the United States. It has 16 of the 20 highest mountains in Alaska and over 3100 glaciers. The sheer remoteness and lack of roads makes getting to this rugged wilderness sanctuary a challenge in itself. But for the truly bold and adventurous traveler looking for the trip of a lifetime, Wrangell-St. Elias is packed full of iconic Alaskan mountains, glaciers, rivers and is home to some of the last true wilderness in the world. This is a bucket list vacation destination that everyone should experience!

Year 9

A documentary film that follows Brian Sachs, a Colorado businessman, on a backpacking trip in the Last Frontier and chronicles the hardships, triumphs and lessons learned throughout his long 9 year journey exploring the Alaska wilderness. In order to film our trip while simultaneously guiding, I used the DJI Pocket 2 for the action shots and the Sony A7III for the interviews.
