Alaskan Cruise - July 2005

Day 3 - Helicopter Glacier Landing & Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge

Morning brought a helicopter ride up and onto a glacier. We toured the mountains around Denali National Park and eventually landed on Yanert Glacier. We spent a half hour exploring the ice, boulders and streams all while posing for pictures. The afternoon meant another two hour bus ride to Mt. McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge. No excursions that night, just dinner, enjoying the view and relaxation. The peak of Mt. McKinley was briefly visible that evening but no one managed to have their camera on them at the time.
