Denali Bound

Post by Trishness »

I'm so fortunate to have a friend from high school who lives in Fairbanks, Alaska and I'm going there to visit in the summer of 2012! How awesome is that? We're planning on a 3 day backpack trip in Denali....come rain, snow or fog. I'm Denali bound! :y:

Have fun! Don't wait too long to go down if you have altitude problems.

Wait, in Denali NP, or on Denali? I take the OP to just mean a trip to the park and not the mountain.

It does seem that way on further review.

Denali NP not on Denali. I'm not much of a mountaineer. However I think my friend and I might get a 3 or 4 day backpack trip in the park which should be very cool. Either way, it's going to be pretty pumpkin awesome.

@Trishness
If you have the time and interest visit my cousin and his wife at their homestead just north of Denali Park.
Find a pilot at or near the park who would also like to visit Duane and Rena and spend a day or two.
Bring back a story about these very successful homesteaders and a host of pictures.
The following link tells about their place and experiences.
