Train to Denali

We took the train from Anchorage to Denali yesterday, 8 hour 250 mile trip across Alaska. As we moved north, the views were spectacular. The crew said Mt. McKinley is only viewable about 10-15% of the time and we were treated clear conditions. The photo is from 46 miles away. It's the third highest mountain in the world (biggest in North America) at 20,320 feet. We had a quick glimpse of a moose and saw ospreys nesting. We arrived at our lodge and had a big pizza for dinner complete with reindeer sausage. The lodge is on a river, and we enjoyed the outdoor fireplace until the rains came.....
