We are now in Anchorage after three nights at Kantishna Roadhouse at mile marker 92 in Denali. We had beautiful weather with full views of Denali for five straight days. We went to reflection pond two days with still conditions to get perfect reflection of the mountain in the pond; also got the reflection at Wonder Lake. Wildlife count was just ok, binocular brown bears, a couple of great caribou close by, a few moose, and a porcupine. Also went fly fishing for first time; I actually caught a fish!
The lodge was rustic but wonderful; only nitpick was that the dinners were not that exciting and no real choices at either lunch or dinner. Yesterday, we flew out of the park with a good amount of time spent around Denali and over its glaciers; again, beautiful weather for the flight. Easy drive to Anchorage and now a couple of last minute errands and we fly to Nome this afternoon.
More later . . .
