Denali

We decided to do something fun this summer with Bryan going off for 6 mths towards the end of summer. We decided to take a tour of Denali National Park. It is about a two hour drive from base. We had a fun time, we stayed at the Princess Wilderness Lodge. We had a cabing looking hotle, the room was small but for what we used it for it work. They had a mini village in where we stayed, so we got to walk around and shop, eat and relax. We took the tour on the second day of our stay, we took a Tundra Wilderness tour which took us into the park for about a 5 hour ride. We got to see Caribou, Grizzlies, Dall Sheep and Brady's favorite the Snowshoe Hare. One of the tourists saw a wolf too, but it blended into the scenery and the boys didn't see it.We saw alot of beautiful scenery, even a glimpse of a glacier too. We didn't get to see the full view of Mt. Mckinley, but we have seen it enough times to know what it looks like and we flew over it on our way here too. We got a lot of great pictures, wish I could post them all on here, but can't. It is truly a sight to see. It is such a peaceful place to get lost in. It was a great tour, and the boys behaved great on the long ride.We went to eat at the Lynx Creek Pizza after, boy was that some good pizza, and for dessert we got some soft serve ice cream, it's been a long time since we had soft serve, seeing as though we don't have a DQ up here. We all had a good time but were happy to get home too. Next summer we want to take a trip down to Valdez and Seward, hopefully to see some glaciers and so that Bryan can check out his King Salmon fishing pole. Should be a good time. We are saving the biggest trip for our last summer here. In the one picture Brett is holding a set of antlers they have on display. The one is of our hotel room.
