This is the front of my cabin in the morning sun. |
This was the creek that ran in front of the cabin. |
The cabin picnic area. |
The mountains across the street from my lodging. While eating at this restaurant for breakfast, I learned that Wayne Knight had just eaten there. Mr. Knight is known for his character "Newman" on the Seinfeld sitcom. He was on a photo shoot in the area. |
Looking west from the Parks Highway. |
I decided to camp in Denali this evening, so I stopped by the campground early to find a nice spot, Campsite 17. |
I went to the sled dog demonstration in the park. Prior to their presentation, you could walk around the area and meet the dogs. This dog's name was Beluga. |
This is Brooks, no doubt named after my friend in Charlotte! |
|
One of the handlers with their dog. |
These puppies were really cute! |
Ranger Jessica gave the sled dog demonstration, which included a quick run around a course in the stage area. |
These dogs really move fast! |
I walked back to the Visitor Center to pick up my car. Parking is limited where the sled dogs are, so I took a bus to the place. |
The quaking aspens were beautiful against the blue sky. |
I enjoyed my walk along this trail. |
Ranger Pete Peterson gave a very interesting program about animals found in the park. We also got to see a spectacular display of the alpenglow as the sun set. |
This is the view of Mount Denali from the edge of my campsite! What a wonderful place to spend the evening! |
