ALASKA

These images were taken during a two-week trip to Alaska in the summer of 2017. I met my two good friends, John and Ryan, at the start of their “Arctic to Andes” journey, a yearlong drive from Northern Alaska down to Ushuaia, Argentina. After rendezvousing in Anchorage, we drove up to Denali National Park for a three-day backpacking and climbing trip. From there, we drove to Fairbanks and hopped on the Dalton Highway, one of the most remote and rugged roads in North America. After arriving in the small town of Coldfoot, we took a bush plane flight deep into the Arrigetch Mountains in Gates of the Arctic National Park, the least-visited park in the US. We spent five blissful days entirely cut off from civilization, hiking and experiencing 24 hours of daylight in one of the most picturesque and dramatic locations on Earth.
