We had a great trip from our hotel in Fairbanks and driving SE to the Denali highway. We went up past a few lakes up the Denali Highway where we had lunch. Our guide Steph had many experiences to share about her family camping trips and living in the area. We were given options on what to see and do with explanations and which made the trip personal to us. The mountains and lakes along the drive provided breathtaking scenery for some great photos. We stopped at a small Alaska Lodge called Tangle Lakes Lodge on the Denali Highway for a quick lunch. The cheeseburger's we had were very good and fast. Very friendly staff. Steph was great about spotting wildlife and knowing where to stop for the best photos. We saw 2 Moose and a Marmot. I wished I had brought a telephoto lens with me. We had just came from visiting Denali and the Canadian Rockies so I wanted to see some the Alaskan interior and this tour did not disappoint. I liked seeing the pipeline and military airfield on the trip also. I would love to come back in the fall to see the color change.
