Re: Ride Report- Mississippi to Alaska & Back - Pic Heavy
After a couple days in Fairbanks we are off to Denali, where Mt. McKinley is.
Another great day to ride!
Quite a few changes in terrain between Fairbanks and Denali.
Stopped at the Fireweed Roadhouse. Had some sandwiches in the parking lot and took a couple of pics.
Got within 22 miles and hit road construction. 10 miles of gravel.
But it was wetted down, so not so bad after a 20 minute wait for the pilot truck.
After it turned back to pavement, we stopped for gas. Almost there, let's go!
Big Sky!
Even though the park road is closed to private vehicles after the first 15 miles, that is our plan, ride in the first 15 miles, having a look around. Mary and I talked about riding the bus tour thru the rest of the park...decided against it.
More in next post.
