After a night spent in a campground near what sounded like the Indy 500 (the Park Hwy) we headed south and decided to stop at Denali State Park and grabbed a perfect, quiet, wooded campsite. After a well needed nap, we went for a kayak trip around Byers Lake. The view of Denali from the lake was like being in a painting. We spent about 90 minutes on this crystal clear, glacier fed lake. 

See Denali (Mt. McKinley)? It's the white thing that looks like a cloud. We saw and heard Trumpeter Swans getting angry at a dog on shore. 

Tomorrow the plan is to find a place to sleep indoors in Talkeetna and eat out. The MREs we bought are good, but getting a bit old and I've consumed a half a jar of peanut butter.
