Welcome to the show, podcasting from the base of the Chugach Mountian Range in the Alaska HDTV shack my name's Scott! Summer my friends I see has about given up her fight, and winter is just around the corner. Never fear I have plenty to keep you busy during our cold and darker winter months!

Reed Lakes is a top notch hike located just an hour north of Anchorage. Whether you’re a Photographer or Hiker, this hike offers incredible high alpine terrain, and views that have kept me coming back here for years.

Hike details:

• 4.5 miles one way
• 1,850 foot elevation gain from trail head to upper Reed lake.
• A solid pair of hiking shoes or boots with good ankle support are required for this hike.
• Hiking poles good, but not required.
• Varied terrain. Trail is very well established and in good condition generally speaking. First two miles is flat wide and maintained trail, from there you gain elevation quickly navigating boulders and at times slippery mud. It’s a good hike, take your time and it’s worth the rewards!

Yeti 600i boots Gear Review

I really like the new Yeti 600i Boots, over the years I've worn several brands of boots in the back country of Alaska, I keep coming back to Hi-Tec. As of today the Yeti 600i boots so far have exceeded my expectations, in performance and weight. Keep an eye out in this new season of Alaska HDTV for the boots in action, and I'll be offering a followup to this review.

One of my compliments to Hi-Tec is their attention to weight and durability, which includes handling the weather Alaska deals us out in the back country.

Happy Hiking! Scott
