What a fabulous day! We took a four hour trip on the "Wilderness Express" a glass domed train to Talkeetna. It was a totally clear day so the views were spectacular!
Talkeetna is a quaint little town of 879 people and has the best view of Mount McKinley/Denali. From the Talkeetna Alaska Lodge you have a panaramic view of the entire Mountain range.
We feel so fortunate to have this weather as only 30% of people see the mountain.
After arriving in Talkeetna our group did various activities. Randy and Len went salmon fishing and had great luck. The salmon were jumping in the river. They also saw fresh grizzly tracks with cub tracks which kept them on alert.
Roger went on a Mount McKinley flight landing on a glacier. He said it was fabulous and a definite highlight for him.
We then went on a Jet Boat Adventure taking us 20 miles down the river with an on land excursion with native Alaskan rituals.
The day ended with dinner at the lodge and dessert by the lodge's 46 foot fireplace.
Could not have been a better day!
