Denali National Park

We were invited by my cousin Quincy and his awesome wife, Jenny, for Thanksgiving up in Fairbanks, Alaska. They live on Eielson Air Force Base. We left on Wednesday around 9 a.m. and drove up to stay the night at their house. On the way there we drove through Denali National Park, which we had never been to before. It was a beautiful drive with hundreds and hundreds of miles of nothing but mountains and COLD. Seriously, the temperature never got above zero the whole weekend. Negative double digits were not uncommon. It's been a while since we've done a road trip...and now I remember why. :) Really though, it wasn't so bad. We always love seeing new things and going new places. We really lucked out with it being such a clear day, there's normally lots of clouds so not many people get to see Mt. McKinley, but it was very clear for us. I'm too lazy to put these all in order, they're just pictures from the drive there and back.

 

This is Pioneer Peak close to Wasilla, not Denali

This was a random, cool igloo on the side of the road. Kenny and Ty just had to go check it out.
