Denali Adventure

My best friends were in town for a week and we had an absolute blast! The highlight of their visit was our Denali Adventure! We rented an RV for 4 days and drove to Denali, and then continued past Fairbanks to Chena Hot Springs. The weather was amazing throughout the entire trip. Here are some highlights!

Ready to hit the road 
The crew 
DENALI!
First hike in Denali
We had some serious campfires 
We spent Memorial Day on a shuttle bus riding through the park. The views were unreal. We saw so many animals, including a grizzly bear (!!!), moose, caribou, sheep, and coyote.



Coyote
Herd of caribou 
Dall sheep 
Momma moose and baby (not even 24 hours old!)
We also got off the shuttle and did some hiking in the middle of Denali!
 We climbed Igloo Mountain! 

We fell in love with the sled dogs at the Denali Kennel.


After spending time in Denali we drove to Chena Hot Springs where we visited the Ice Museum/Hotel. Everything in the building was made of ice!
Yes, that is a bed made of ice...
 
...and a bar made of ice. 
We also enjoyed the natural hot springs!!
This was an absolutely incredible vacation from beginning to end! 
I love you girls!!! xoox
