Alaska
was experiencing the hottest summer on record and forest fires
were raging across the state
We were warned that some
of the main highways to the south were closed or only open

Fortunately the drive to Denali was uneventful

"Light"
Traffic is an understatement |
That's

An
Alaskan style rest stop - An Outhouse |
No
