Catching Up Before Denali
Before heading to Denali, I slowed down in Talkeetna to organize photographs, build new galleries for this site, work from the local library, meet travelers from Italy, enjoy a memorable pizza night, make a quick trip to Wasilla, and finalize my plans for visiting the Arctic Ocean.
Exploring Historic Talkeetna After a Denali Flight
After my Denali glacier flight, I spent the afternoon wandering historic Talkeetna. From its railroad history and colorful downtown to Denali views, Bell's Interpretive Trail, local shops, and a memorable dinner, it was the perfect way to experience one of Alaska's most popular small towns.
Denali Grand Tour with Glacier Landing
A perfect Alaska morning takes me on K2 Aviation's Denali Grand Tour with Glacier Landing. From braided rivers and towering granite peaks to a landing on the Ruth Glacier inside the Don Sheldon Amphitheater, this flight offered some of the most spectacular scenery I've experienced in Alaska.
