After a night at Mt. McKinley lodge we woke up and caught our tour bus that took us up to Denali, farther north.  The ride was scenic and we arrived at the Denali lodge in time for a quick lunch before our tour of the park.  The tour of the park was nice.  We made several stops and saw wildflowers, beautiful scenery, some historic sites and ended with a presentation from a native while standing at a point where you see miles in every direction surrounded by mountain ranges.

I wished that I had an extra day at Denali as I would have loved to explore more on my own, take more time to see wildlife and maybe go for a hike.  Sadly, we were back in time for dinner and ate at a salmon bake restaurant which was tasty.  The next morning we were on a bus to Fairbanks.
