Chasing the Dream of the Alaska Long Trail

In this episode of In-Depth Alaska, host Joe Allgood sits down with veteran thru-hiker Bradford Bartels, who may be the very first person to officially hike the incomplete Alaska Long Trail from Seward to Fairbanks. Starting his journey with zero Alaskan backcountry experience, Bradford completed the grueling 47-day trek through summer rain, mountain snow, and stunning terrain—fueled primarily by a "7-Eleven body temple" of honey buns and ramen.

Extended interviews from Alaska's News Source about a wide variety of topics that impact Alaska and Alaskans.
