The Ride to Fairbanks and Beyond
 
Alaska - Day Two
Sunday, May 20, 2007
Without sleep, I head 400 miles north to see tall mountains and indian villages...
 
Woke up with only 3 1/2 hours of sleep and headed North.
 
The ride was very pretty...Denali is incredibly impressive. Even from a hundred miles away it’s a huge mountain! I took pictures from the road.
 
When I got to the park itself, I decided not to go on the guided tour but instead drove myself a little ways into the park and took lots of pictures and was just in awe of nature.
 
Then it was on to Fairbanks. Honestly, I wasn’t that impressed with Fairbanks. It’s no Anchorage, that’s for sure. But as long as I was already this far north, I decided to go even further and took a flight to the other side of the Arctic Circle. We went to a place called Port Yukon, which is a small indian village (pop. 500) with no road access.
 
Back to Anchorage tomorrow. But for today...
