We took the Denali National Park shuttle (school) bus 66 miles into the Park today.  It was an 8 hour ride to the Eielson Visitor Center, and back.  The bus left the Wilderness Access Center at 8:30 this morning, and re returned at 4”30 this afternoon.DSC03577

Along the way, we saw wonderful views of Mt McKinley, and wildlife.  First, here is the welcome sign for the Eielson visitor center.
