Circling Alaska & Yukon

For six months Andrew Skurka skied, hiked, and packrafted 4,700 miles in a giant loop around Alaska and CanadaΓÇÖs Yukon. His route passed just beneath Mt. McKinley, descended famed rivers like the Copper and Yukon, and traversed the entire Brooks Range. During the most remote and committing stretch of the trip, across the Yukon Arctic and Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, he went 657 miles and 24 days without crossing a road or seeing another person ΓÇô an immersion in Big Wilderness that he found profoundly humbling. In this program Skurka shares the journeyΓÇÖs most powerful stories and entertaining moments, complemented with stunning photos and emotional videos. He also reflects on the broader significance of this experience and of his other adventures ΓÇô which cumulatively measure 30,000+ miles ΓÇô with particular attention to setting goals, stepping outside comfort zones, and seizing lifeΓÇÖs opportunities.
