About this film
Part of ADVcharlie’s round-the-world trip on a modified KTM 790 Adventure S, this 23-minute film is an instalment in the series Riding My KTM 790 Through North America. Its focus is travel by motorcycle, with wildlife and the landscape shaping the day’s stops as much as the ride itself. The account moves from an encounter with a grizzly bear to a visit to Salmon Glacier, then closes on the extended effort to hang the bear bags. The episode balances the draw of the scenery and wildlife with a small, practical task of travel.
The journey
The journey returns to Alaska during the wider round-the-world trip. The rider visits Salmon Glacier and watches a grizzly bear feeding on salmon; other wildlife appears on the road along the way. These moments give the ride a clear sense of place without making the journey solely about the destination. After the riding and wildlife encounters, setting up camp brings a different kind of challenge: getting the bear bags up on a tree takes far longer than intended. The film’s travel story therefore includes both Alaska’s notable sights and the everyday work of managing a stop on the road.
