ALASKA CRUISE TOUR! Exploring Denali National Park & Fairbanks, Alaska

Denali National Park is like NOTHING ELSE WE HAVE EVER SEEN! Today we are taking a wilderness tour with an experienced guide... and then we are FLYING up to the mountain!!

This is all part of a Cruise Tour with Holland America Line.

Some fun facts about Denali:
**Denali is the highest peak in North America.
**30% club ‘she makes her own weather and covers things up’. Our guide pointed out several places we would have been able to see the mountain if it was a clear day.
**Gaining 7 minutes of daylight a day until summer solstice on June 21st, the longest day of the year.
**This area is arctic desert. It gets very little rain here. Lots of snow but the snow is dry. It won’t pack into a snowball.
**The National Park is the size of NH!!
**Road top elevation is about 3900 ft. We travel about 40 miles into the park and then have to turn around as a rock slide took out the road. (Pretty Rocks landslide)
**2 miles between the North & South peaks of Denali. Meldrow Glacier is currently surging. This only happens about every 60 years.

We saw lots of caribou (reindeer are the same animals just domesticated), arctic ground squirrels aka Denali hot dogs, Willow ptarmigans (Alaska state bird) and even a porcupine. We saw fresh bear tracks in the snow but no bears.

The next day we leave Denali National Park and the McKinley Chalet Resort and travel by bus to Fairbanks, Alaska. Here we explore the downtown area and then visit one of the old dredges and get to pan for gold!
