There is only one road, 92 miles long, that leads visitors in and out of Denali National Park. That only "winedy" road parallels the Alaska Range and travels through low valleys and high mountains peaks. Around mile 66 lies Eielson Visitor's Center, where on a clear day you can view Mt. McKinley....we did NOT visit on a clear day! : ) 
I was having a hard time comprehending what exactly I was seeing on the map, so D had me look at this discolored rock...
...and then find the same rock on the mountain range. See?

It may be cloudy, but we're still happy to be here!
Again, D is using pictures to explain how little we can see! ha!

Ah, my favorite summer accessory! Off Clip-On Mosquito Repellent!! I have discovered that mosquitoes are actually the state bird of Alaska. There are large and in charge. It may be dorky but this baby keeps the mosquitoes away so yeah, I'll be sporting it regularly this trip.
After 8 hours and 88 miles on a bumpy school bus, we arrived at Wonder Lake!
