Flying the Lost Coast
Sep 09On his way up to Talkeetna last year Cameron filmed some great views of the Lost Coast and surrounding mountains. Here’s a short video showing off some more of the terrain we covered.

The Final Slog
Sep 06The final 3 days of our Lost Coast trek weren’t on the coast at all actually. From the west side of Controller Bay we headed inland, through Softuk Lagoon and finally up the gigantic Copper River Delta. For the next 3 days we worked our way through marsh, thick brush and up the heavily braided Copper River.

From Icy Bay to Controller Bay
Sep 05Icy Bay to Controller Bay was one of the most scenic sections of the Lost Coast. Perfect beaches, shipwrecks, the forgotten military base of Cape Yakataga and the beautiful Cape Suckling.

Sep 01Our first three days were mostly paddling and pushing due to the soft ‘beach’ along the east side of Yakutat Bay. But once we crossed the west coastline was perfect for riding and we put some serious miles on the Pugsleys. For the next 3 days we cruised along the beach interrupted only by a dozen or so river crossings (and the Sitkagi Bluffs) until we reached Icy Bay.
We’ll have day-to-day details to go along with the pics soon.

First Pics
Aug 31Cameron is working hard to process 1000+ pics, no small task. He was using a Canon EOS 5D Mark II and each raw image comes in at around 23MB. Our other camera (my trusty little Canon PowerShot) sadly succumbed to the elements on the trip.
We’ll have more details on each day of our trek soon, but for now here’s a preview of our first 3 days on the Lost Coast.
