alaska v3.0 – civilization

the rest of our trip to denali was spent in the area around the park entrance. a visit to the sled dogs, science center, and other park attractions. one of our first meals out was at a local pizza place. yum. delicious beer from the alaskan brewing co. and a hot pizza was exactly what i had in mind.much fun was had as we burned the last few days we had in alaska. our ride back to anchorage was just as bad, if not worse than our ride up to denali. again, a 4-5 hour drive was extended to a 5-6 hour drive because our driver was falling asleep on the wet mountain roads. stopping every 20 minutes to get some fresh air and stay awake. like i said before, this could have been the scariest part of the trip.

once back in anchorage we met up with ren’s cousin, chris and his wife, heard about their wedding the week before and shared our trekking stories. the rest of the time in the city we spent walking around anchorage rescuing dogs, eating amazing seafood, and visiting the most typical tourist shops on the planet.

it’s good to be home. but i can’t wait until the next chance we have to be in the backcountry.
