The only downside of our trip in Denali NP was that we never got a view of Mt. McKinley. It was always too cloudy and the peak never revealed itself, which is pretty typical. However, on our drive south back to Anchorage it was a beautiful day and the mountain was in full view...and it was huge! Here is a photo of the mountain as well as a few more from Denali which we didn't include in our first post.

Another shot of us on the biggest glacier we crossed during our hike.
Just before crossing the ice bridge across the glacier stream/rapids. You can see the ice bridge we crossed in the background, back right.
After a night of hot showers, pizza, and beer we came back to the park to see the visitor center and attend a free sled dog show! We got to pet the dogs before the performance where they leashed up 5 dogs to pull a ranger around a dirt track. These dogs, Alaskan Huskies, are bred for long legs, big paws, thick coats, and friendly dispositions because they interact with all types of visitors. Brownie, not pictured was our favorite.

My favorite photo from the trip taken just after completing a pass.
More to come...
