Denali Visit - Day 2


On our second day we hiked the trails around the front part of the park. The trees have turned their fall colors.


There are some aspen trees in the park that do turn orange and somewhat red, a contrast to the yellow leaves we see in Fairbanks.

We hiked to Horseshoe Lake. This is a picture of a large beaver pond on one edge of the lake.

The low bush cranberries are ready to be picked. Josh really enjoyed eating them! This has been a great weekend, and we will be back in just over a week.

We were lucky to get a lottery pass to drive the road on September 15, thanks to some friends. I am really looking forward to driving in all the way in our own vehicle, something I have never done. (Usually you can only go beyond mile 17 if you are on one of the bus tours.)

That's enough pics to convince me of putting in for the lottery next year. Love the berry pic.
