Denali to Anchorage

Have you ever seen a limo pulling a trailer? Nothing other then that for today. It just rained all day. I wanted to go to Kenai and Seward but have to save for the next trip up. Won't be able to see anything with the rain.




The people that stayed beside us encountered a Moose on the highway.

Thursday Night

Where we had breakfast up the hill. It was great.







We stayed in a cool cabin and had a 5 star dinner that consisted of Sardines, Crackers, Ham Jerky and Crystal Light. Yummy.

Thursday Fairbanks to Denali

We decided on the Tundra Wilderness Tour. It was 8 hours long. There was one that was 12 hours but no openings until Friday. If have to take the tour because cars are only allow in the first 15 miles of the park. We got our monies worth. We saw Moose, Caribou, Ptarmigan, Black Wolf, Brown Bears, Hares, Eagles and Dall-s Sheep. Joe (a Naturalist) was our guide. He was like a walking Encyclopedia went it came to the park and the animals. He even new more about fish as he had a master in Marine Biology as well.





Have always wanted to go to Denali and had the chance. The weather worked with us as well. We started the day with a nice lunch and the Princess Wilderness Resort.

Pump House Restranunt for Dinner

After the tour we had dinner at the Pump House. This was used during the gold rush on the river to was away dirt to find gold. Believe it or not the creek beside it produced 100 million dollars in gold (today's money they say would be a little over 3 billion dollars). We had a great prime rib dinner here.
