This week I'm lucky to have a week off from work - and lucky because my parents and brother are visiting from 'the outside' (or, the lower 48). We drove to Talkeetna on Sunday and then took the train north to Denali. After staying there for two nights, we made our way back south and are back in Anchorage now. I'm not going to write too much about what we did, but I'll post some pictures here:
Zach and I walk down main street in Talkeetna
after eating breakfast at "The Roadhouse"
Passing over Hurricane Gulch - unfortunately you can't
see the 296 ft. drop down to the Chulitna River
Inside Denali National Park on Monday
Celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary by hiking in the park -
we ended up getting rained on a bit, but it was still a lot of fun
Being Caribou for a day
That's where Denali is supposed to be, but it is covered by clouds, a pretty common occurrence
Outside "The Bake" in Denali
Southbound train rolling into Denali Depot
Mom and Dad watch "Animal" the brakeman hop off the train
and manually throw a switch so we can pull onto a siding
The weather cooperated on our way south and the mountain came out from behind the clouds - looks like Zach is getting a pretty good picture
