In Denali National Park, Alaska, at milepost 66 on the Park Road sits a beautiful new interpretive center. I rode the VTS (Visitors Transportation System) bus out for a look on a amazing trip with Denali strutting her stuff on a clear blue sky day, awesome! The bus ride was long and dusty, and it was hot (for Alaska) but the views are outstanding and the wildlife viewing fantastic.
Denali from the Savage River area, 80 miles away.
Brown hills and blue sky.
Green and rocky.

Grand views of Denali from every window.

The driver said, "One drop and it will kill you"
"Keep Exploring"
