BYERS LAKE

We love visiting the state owned cabins at Byers Lake in the winter.  The scenery & solitude can't be beat, especially when Mt McKinley (aka Denali) makes an appearance.  Thanksgiving weekend we were invited to spend a few days with friends who had reserved Cabin 3.  Our last visit to this cabin was in January 2011, and the temperatures bottomed out at minus 30.  This visit was lots warmer, only minus ten.  By the time we got there Friday evening, David and Traci had the place warmed up nicley.  If anything, the inside of the cabin was too warm!



The mountain was out Saturday morning.  Pictures just don't show how majestic Denali is, rising above its sister peaks in the Alaska Range. Always feel lucky when I see the mountain.
