We had a pleasant 2 hour drive from Fairbanks to Denali this morning. Upon arriving, we headed for a hike. We did the 6 mile Mount Healy Overlook hike. With over 2000 feet of climbing, it was a significant hike. The reward was more than worth it.
In addition to good exercise and great views of the valley, we got a glimpse of Mount Denali, approximately 80 miles away. It is estimated that it is only visible to visitors 1/3 of the time, so we consider ourselves to be very lucky.
Our campsite is in the park and it is beautiful. Again, we feel very fortunate to be able to experience this absolutely stunningly beautiful park.
Quite a view from the overlook
Yes, that is Denali and North Peak from 80 miles
Our home for a couple of nights - yes, that is snow, but it is 75 degrees out
