The road to Denali was very smooth and quiet. Nothing much really happened.

We did pull into a majestic Scenic View area. Unfortunately, we were too close to the rig ahead of us. It appeared that the driver was sleeping and not about to move. I marveled at Paul’s skill as he maneuvered the ‘Beast’ and tow car around the ominous obstacle.

While Denali Rainbow Village Park is centrally located, the spaces are tight and on gravel. Additionally, this park is extremely difficult to locate. You can listen to your GPS this time. . . it is behind all the buildings on the boardwalk. (Take Sourdough Street.)

Wildlife Spotted: A bunch of caribou, but since they were in a fenced in pen they were probably domesticated as opposed to wild. Seagull walking. A pretty yellow butterfly.
