DENALI NATIONAL PARK


Drove up north to the park yesterday and joined a group of park employees for a paddle raft trip down the Nenana River. We had a blast as most of the rules governing our trip were ignored. The tourists in the oar rafts were quite amused by our antics; no doubt thinking we had lost our minds when we we all plunged into the river mid trip. If you are going to swim in 35 degree water, you better be wearing a dry suit. We sure got a lot of stares as we boarded the bus for the ride back to the start.




Headed on a three day backpack into the Denali backcountry. Weather seems to be cooperating so far, nice and sunny and cool. Hope to post some pics when I get back so stay tuned.............
