About a dozen years ago Ginger and her husband Ron were in Alaska and took the train from Fairbanks to Anchorage. At the Denali stop she looked up at the impressive mountains and asked, is that Denali? The answer was no, Denali was above the clouds.<\/p>\n\n\n

About an hour later in the trip the conductor stopped the train and directed everyone to go to the right side and look back, as the clouds covering Denali had cleared. The view of the distant mountain was still breathtaking, and the desire to see it again was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to 2025 and the opportunity finally realizes, flying into Denali National Park to stay at Camp Denali and experience the beauty of this sub-arctic landscape firsthand. What followed was as memorable as anyone could wish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
