Denali: The Great One!

8/8/10
We got a day of sunshine so we headed into Denali Park to see what we could see. They say that you can only see the whole mountain about 20% of the time in the summer. WELL WE GOT LUCKY! We could only drive in 15 miles to the stopping point in the summer--only park buses can go further--but got to see Denali! What a sight! We even got to see 3 caribou laying on river gravel in the Savage River. The pictures we took are probably still 40 miles or more from Denali, but to just view it gives you chills. Sure makes you feel small.
After the drive, we got the bikes out and managed to go 6 miles. There were hills. We need to bike more, but doing it in the rain is not our style! Had a great ride!
