Treks in a Wild World - Arctic Hiking in Alaska with Bradley Cooper & Exploring Canyonlands

In part one Bradley Cooper finds himself in some of the most isolated terrain in the world - the northern part of the Alaska. Bradley's trek begins in Bettles, population 50. He heads north by bush plane into no-man's land. From the air, Bradley catches a glimpse of the vastness and isolation that await him. After being dropped on an unnamed lake near the Gates of the Arctic National Park, Bradley and his two guides set up base camp in the Noatak River Valley region. They've checked with locals for the latest reports of where the caribou were last seen, so from here it's a watch and wait game. A stray grizzly bear was one unexpected visitor into their camp and Bradley quickly realizes that even leaving scented soap behind could invite an unwanted guest. They hike in the regions between the Noatak, Coleville and Nigu Rivers skirting the edges of the Gates of the Arctic National Park in their search for the elusive caribou. After moving base camps further up the valley, their patience is rewarded - the herd arrives and Bradley is able to see first hand the magical journey of these Nomads of the North.

In part two, Holly Morris explores Canyonlands National Park in Utah. Her journey begins at Mineral Bottom she rafts down the Green River toward the confluence of the Colorado River, exploring side canyons on the way. Her journey ends attempting to ride the rapids of Cataract Canyon.
