Denali




Well folks there it is. Mt. McKinley. It is an amazing thing to lay eyes on and we got really lucky, the people that went into the park the day before didn't see the mountain once, but the clouds cleared for us and we got a spectacular view.


It never really gets dark here. The sun "sets" at about 10:00 but even then it doesn't get truly dark. It sort of stays twilight all night until the sun comes back up at 5:30 or so. It's very bizarre. In fact it is somewhat unsettling. I didn't realize it but there is some comfort in the dark of night. I will say, though, that you really can get a lot into a day when the sun stays up for so long and it's really easy to lose track of time.



Bear in the road!! :) Now off to hike some more.
