The Adventure Continues… Alaska: Glacier Bay

January 27, 2021 1 Comment

Well, this is it — the final episode of Huell’s Alaska series. In this hour-long episode, he takes a tour of Glacier Bay, finally experiences some “typical Alaskan weather,” spots some amazing wildlife including puffins, mountain goats, and a bear, and chats with some kayak campers who traveled to the area for some up-close adventure in the wilderness of Glacier […]

The Adventure Continues… Alaska: Forest Hike

January 20, 2021 Leave a Comment

In this hour-long episode, Huell explores a portion of Glacier Bay National Park that relatively few visitors choose to see. While the lure of the glaciers and calving icebergs is completely understandable, I think it would be a real shame to miss this beautiful forest trail. I’m very grateful for this opportunity to pause and listen to the sounds of […]

The Adventure Continues… Alaska: Father Hubbard

January 13, 2021 Leave a Comment

This week, Huell shares a couple of short films — one from the 1930s and the other from the late 1950s — highlighting the beauty and diversity of Alaska. Huell learns about the legacy of Alaska’s “Glacier Priest” and his connection to California. (Click on the linked image below to see the video.)

The Adventure Continues… Alaska: Gustavus

January 6, 2021 Leave a Comment

Before watching this episode, I had never heard of Gustavus, Alaska. But just from the brief glimpse that Huell offers here, I can say it looks like a really great place to live, full of natural beauty and friendly people. The population numbers less than 500 residents, and I’m sure the locals prefer it that way! Huell visits the charming […]

The Adventure Continues… Alaska: White Pass Railway

December 30, 2020 Leave a Comment

Not too long ago, I enjoyed a historic and very scenic train ride from Skagway, Alaska, over the White Pass to Carcross, Yukon, where the amazing views are neverending. I experienced this journey’s beautiful sights from the comfort of my own home thanks to a film on Amazon Prime. But if you don’t subscribe to Amazon Prime, don’t worry — […]

The Adventure Continues… Alaska: Dog Sled

December 23, 2020 Leave a Comment

A third time the attempt was made, but this time, following the advice, Hal broke out the runners which had been frozen to the snow. The overloaded and unwieldy sled forged ahead, Buck and his mates struggling frantically under the rain of blows. A hundred yards ahead the path turned and sloped steeply into the main street. It would have […]

The Adventure Continues… Alaska: Dyea

December 16, 2020 Leave a Comment

I recently reread Jack London’s novel The Call of the Wild for the first time in years, so the names of places like Skagway, Dyea, and Dawson are wonderfully fresh in my mind as I watch Huell’s Alaska adventure and enjoy the gorgeous scenery. The town of Dyea is now only a memory — not even a ghost town — […]

The Adventure Continues… Alaska: Skagway

December 9, 2020 Leave a Comment

I’ve been featuring episodes from Huell Howser’s various shows for awhile now, and I always enjoy seeing him visit parts of California that may or may not be familiar to me. But Huell explored more than just California, so I thought it would be fun to check out his short Alaska series. Most of the episodes are 30 minutes long, […]
