Denali (Virtually)


Not far from Anchorage- (250 miles)

Today we explore Denali. Perfect timing as this year (Feb) the park is celebrating 100 YEARS of being a National Park!

And although Jim (...my favorite Adventure Dude...) actually leads expeditions up its ice and snow covered sides,

through Virtual Travel I can check the park and mountain out from the comfort of a 72 degree home. Without frostbite, crevasses, overnights in base camps at -75 degrees, or falling thousands of feet to my demise. Maybe with a pepperoni pizza and an ice cold Coke. So there's that.

And so can you.
