Denali Visitor Center Denali National Park and Preserve

This was my first ever family trip where I made a video for it. Undoubtedly, the video is terrible quality. It has most of our alaska trip in it as well as vancouver aquarium and the capilano string bridge. It's still worth a look though, if you'll never go to Alaska.

The next morning i set off early with about 100 miles to the Denali National Park. I did some more fishing along the way, but did not manage to catch anything.

I arrived in the park mid afternoon. There is 17 miles of the road that is open to the public to drive, along that i encountered a few caribou with a couple nice bulls. I decided …

Denali graced us with a glimpse this morning. When I was walking up to the lodge to go on-line, I could see just the tip of that grand mountain.

After that, it is a short drive to Fairbanks. …

Once they were up and had breakfast (Andrew cannot function until he has eaten) we went for a walk to the Visitor Centre. Andrew the silly boy had left his phone at Anchorage station and had arranged for it to be delivered to the Visitor Centre. …

   After breakfast we hiked over to the Denali Visitor Center on the maze of trails that are in the entrance area. We're guessing it was about 1.5 miles from the campground. The Visitor Center was new in the last 5 years and it is phenomenal. ...
