Denali: Friday, Sept. 8, 2017

We went "flight seeing" over the mountains in Denali today...quite an amazing way to see these towering mountains, with Denali, at 20+ K feet being the standout. But we also saw enormous glaciers and other stunning--and intimidating--peaks up very close and personal thanks to our pilot, Bob, from Denali Air.

That afternoon, we went to the sled dog kennels where they raise and train the dogs that help the patrol the wilderness (I.e., no machinery) part of Denali NP in the winter. The dogs just get ecstatic when they get hooked up to the training sled. There was also a new litter of 7 puppies!

They are rearing to go!
