I need some advice on good backpacking and photography locations near

Faibanks. I am a lousy amateur photographer, but a good backpacker. I'll be

in Fairbanks in June, and as long as I am there, I want to grab my camera

equipment and go backpacking. I know Denali Park is close, but I am afraid

to go there because of the crowds - I've heard they get thousands of people a

day in June. Are there alternative locations near Fairbanks that have good

scenery and no people? Suggestions from locals especially would be greatly

appreciated. I don't need trails and can cover a lot of ground, so in the time I

have I can probably get 40-50 miles from the road. I "leave no trace" so I

won't trash your neighborhood.

Thanks a lot for your advice,

Artyom

Hi everyone,

thank you very much for your help! It does sound pretty difficult. I will be in the

upland rainforest in Brunei - about 20 miles from the nearest dry napkin...

Good luck everyone,

I am about to spend two weeks camping in the rainforest on Borneo. I expect

it will be extremely hot and humid there. Can somebody tell me how to

prepare my equipment for these conditions? I have a Canon EOS and a few

simple autofocus lenses, nothing fancy. I am a biologist, not a photographer.

Thanks!
