Denali Highway - Paxson to Denali. We are on a 1000 mile circular
road trip travelling from Anchorage back to Valdez. From Valdez,
via Paxson along the Denali Highway and from the end of the highway up
to the entrance to the National Park. We look out across the
McCarthy river towards the distant McCarthy glacier.
Denali Highway, the original route into the park is a gravel road. I have to confess some initial trepidation at the thought of travelling 130 miles along such a potentially bumpy and uneven route. As it turns out I had little to fear, the route is well maintained and the journey quite spectacular. |
