The guide took us through the wilds just north of Denali Park, the mountains always in the background. Sun, rain, wet or dry, nothing stops the all-terrain vehicles they provide. The Guide entertained us with the history of the trail & region. You could almost see the pioneers camping in the next clearing. Surely, this was from the guide's grandpa told in person? Wildlife? It was mid-June of 2019, almost record heat. The smart animals stay hidden, but we were warned it wasn't the best day for sightings. The tour lived up to all the hype.
At the end, we got to walk across the permafrost, nothing like I've ever experienced. My son will be telling stories to his grandkids someday about his trek through the Alaskan wilds near Denali, the Big One! We had a blast!
