July 24, 2007 – The Elusive Mountain and Talkeetna

This morning brought us blue skies and sunshine. We left Denali and crossed the Alaskan Range (and kept looking for the “high one”.)

I was able to get one decent picture of the mountain:


The Alaskan Range and Mt. McKinley/Denali makes its own weather and the clouds surrounded the range all day. But they are still spectacular and majestic. We are so blessed!



On our travels today, we also saw another moose on the side of the road:

We arrived in Talkeetna and are staying at the Talkeetna River Campground. I can see the river from my front window and it is running fast. Right now they are between salmon runs so it is quiet on the riverfront.

Talkeetna is a cute little town. Northern Exposure was loosely based on this town. Today it is a point where climbers for Denali start as well as many flight seeing trips (plus it is a little touristy).

We walked thru the town and the shops and ate at the West Rib Pub and Café – had a musk ox burger (not too bad).

I will leave you with a few pictures:
