Alaska Bound: Denali

Tuesday July 23

So, we boarded the bus again, this time being able to grab the good seats with extra leg room, and toured downtown Anchorage just to get a feel for the town. This was more important for the other travelers who were likely to spend significantly more time in it than we were. Then we headed for Happy Trails dog sled kennel, to visit Martin Buser an Ititerod champion who took us on a tour of his complex. It as a nice tour, informative and Tracy had a chance to hold a puppy.

Back on the bus again to finish the trip to Denali. We were lucky to have such beautiful weather, except for the day of the Hubbard Glacier viewing attempt. This day was no exception and it afforded us a spectacular view of Mt. Denali (or Mt. McKinley if you prefer). There it was sticking up in all it's magnificence with for a few puffs of clouds to give it some definition.

The place they put us at was an attempt to smooth our ruffled feathers, because we both got our own cabins with beautiful views of the valley.
