Another fabulous day!! We left Fairbanks this morning in sunny humid weather. The ride down was awesome, nice curves and sweepers with beautiful scenery, and weather. What more could you ask for?!

Denali national park had a quaint village with Shops & eateries, great mountain views, and an abundance of forest. You can only go thru the park via bus tours which we did not do. Many of them are full full day trips like 11 hours which from my understanding is your best bet for wildlife viewing.

We managed to see another big moose right up close beside the roadway munching on some grass. Alot of low cloud cover, and cooled right off due to the high altitude.

A great ride! We came thru anchorage and found our b&b on the outskirts on the west side of town. This city is alot bigger than Fairbanks! Mountains surrounding it, but again in low cloud cover. Our studio apartment is on a nice piece of land in a quiet setting. We stay here tomorrow night as well been trying to decide how we will spend our day tomorrow, but might just tour around town instead of heading further south. We have a real long day of riding the following day. Today my mileage was at 376.7.
