Today we drove along the Denali highway, a gravel road which cuts over from north of Wrangell/St. Elias to Denali. The views were from your typical Akaska postcard. It's 134 miles (214 km), and took us just under four hours. Driving through tundra/taiga, with the Alaska Mountain chain to the north. One definitely got a sense of remoteness driving this road - not a lot of vehicles on it.
We arrived at the Riley Creek campground in Denali National Park, found a site, set up our tent, and then went and visited the various park information centres to plan our next few days here. It's definitely not the easiest park to figure out, with its Visitor Info Center, Wilderness Access Centre, Backcountry Info Centre, and of course, the bus system.
