Aug. 8 - 12, 2010 - After Fairbanks, we drive 119 miles on Hwy 3 to Denali National Park and Preserve. Our 5 night stay was nothing short of spectacular. Charlie and I couldn't believe that we actually made it here, our mecca for this trip, thousands of miles on the bike through rain, snow, wildfire smoke, wind, bad roads & more away from home. Denali did not disappoint, not even with it's constant everyday rain. Our accessible camp in Riley Creek was walking distance to the visitor center, grocery, showers and even wifi that we accessed at the end of the trip. We truly recommend Alaska for everyone, and Denali is a must. Our camp was made into a 5 night, 6 day home and we explored both front and back country.
Just a few miles more on the highway to Denali.
Charlie acquired a hatchet, therefore he chopped into pieces a dead, standing birch tree.
Charlie, poses proud of his tree-chopping manliness.
Our 5 day camp, all ready for the rain.
A gorgeous, 11pm sunset from our camp.
