Talkeetna

The next day, we started to make our way to Denali. The landscape is indescribable, just massive mountains everywhere you look. We drove from Seward to Denali, which is about 250 miles, and spent the afternoon in Talkeetna, which is located where the Susitna, Chulitna and Talkeetna rivers meet. Talkeetna is the base for expeditions to Denali (Mount McKinley).

We stayed at the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge and the views of Denali were amazing.


At this point, we were thinking that we were seeing all of Denali, that's how high the lower peaks are.

The morning we left for the national park, we saw a brief glimpse of what we knew to be the peaks of Denali - we were really hoping that we would get a better view in the park, but knew that this might be th best that we got.
