Denali

We headed from Fairbanks through Denali National Park on our way to Anchorage. The view was amazing. You could see for miles - my guess 40-50 miles.

Nenana the port where the barges load up with containers headed down the Tanana River and eventually the Yukon River.

Typical scene - Gas station, lodge, and restaurant.



Fish wheel used to catch fish.

I took a picture of this cool pickup for Kenton and Vincent.

This is what happens when you step into a bear trap and the wolves eat you.

World record Polar Bear.

A very cool iron. Fill it up with fuel, pump it up and iron away.

Everywhere we would see this wood with huge knots and bulges.


The sign says it all.



The meals here are very good and start around $25.00.





Julie was always ready for a new Pizza joint. This picture is the view we had of what the sign said we should be able to see. It was so cloudy that Mount McKinley was not visable. Because of the formation of the mountains it causes a natural rain in this area making it almost impossible to see. On average it is visable from this point 26 days out of the year.

We ate lunch at this little restaurant near Trapper Creek. It had great food! We will eat there again the next time through.
