| Talkeetna is a small town near Denali
with a true "Alaskan" ambiance. It is the home of the Talkeetna
Ranger Station where mountaineers stop before climbing Mt. McKinley. |
 |
| Where the road ends, the airstrip
begins! |
 |
| Talkeetna is the meeting place
of the Chulitna, Susitna ans Talkeetna Rivers. We spent some time flyfishing
the nearby waters using some of the newest flies we tied. |
 |
| The Alaska Range is faintly visible above our heads.
This picture was taken from the deck of the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge. |

| How's this
for a close-up shot?! This was an amazing way to see Denali. |

| Those specks
in the pictures are hikers and their base camp during their ascent of Mt.
McKinley. |
 |
| Look at that
BLUE glacial ice on the ground. Each area is probably the size of a small
lake! |
