Denali, Alaska(2019)
Day 2
Index
Alaska & Spokane, WA
Aug-Sept 2019
Cars are not allowed beyond mile 15. We took the bus to Wonder Lake at mile 85
Denali means "The High One" in the Athabascan language
The views along the road are amazing.
Throughout our journey passengers were allowed to leave the bus
and hike into the back country
Some stay overnight at camp sites (must have bear repellant)
   
 
Many views of Denali from different vantage points along the road



Now near the end of the road, 85 miles into the park we decided to continue on foot
There should be a beautiful reflective view from here as the sign describes
But nature did not cooperate
Not much of a reflection with Denali hidden behind clouds


This is what some previous visitors we lucky enough to see and photograph
