Denali pt. 1

We arrived in Denali National Park yesterday after the 8hour drive from Hope. We arranged for a shuttle bus ride into the park for Wed. morning. Today we visited the Visitor Center and became acclimated, the weather is still showery so not much hiking.

We did have a wonderful lunch at the Grande Denali Lodge with a most outstanding view (unfortunately the high mountains are in cloud cover but we could see the Denali Vally and the Nenana River.) The Grande Denali Lodge and The Denali Bluffs Hotel are owned by Old Harbor Native Corporation, one of 252 Native village corporations established by Congress in 1971 under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA).
