Denali View? SkyWatch

From Talkeeta looking north.

Talkeetna Alaska

Our little group had a small bus to ourselves, six travelers, our guide and driver.  We rode to Talkeetna to spend the night before heading to Denali the next morning.

Talkeetna Alaska is a tourist town with friendly locals and a lot of character.

Lots of old buildings, places to eat and gift shops.  Some of our fellow travelers went flight seeing, we elected to explore the town.  It didn't take long!

We saw what to do with an old dog sled, make a planter.

No guns?, I don't recall ever having seen a sign quite like this before.

After walking the whole two blocks that is Talkeetna, we walked over to the river.  They said there was a mountain out there somewhere but we didn't see it.

Later, at 11pm, from our lodge window there it was, Denali peeking above the clouds.

Forest Reflections

The lodge in Talkeetna had a casement window, opened perpendicular to the building.  I was fascinated in the way it reflected the forest, twice because of the double glazing.  I thought it looked a bit like a Christmas card in grey scale.
