Odyssey Tour

Here we back in civilisation again. The tour was good and very informative. The last 3 days took us up the Dalton Highway and finally into Barrow . It was the toughest 3 days ever!

The start of the tour took us on a 4 hour bus ride from Anchorage to Denalli. Here we stayed at the Denali Bluffs Resort. The tiny town of Denali has about 30 small businesses, primarily consisting of tours, eateries and gift shops. We checked them all out on our first day.

The following day we went  on a 7 hour tour of Denali National Park. The place is HUGE , about 8 million acres and has bears, carabou, mousse mountain sheep etc etc.

Apparently we were very fortunate because we could see Mt. McKinley, the tallest mountain in Alaska, about 22,000 feet. The temperature is -148 degrees , it is usually covered with cloud

From Denali we caught the train to Fairbanks and stayed at a lovely resort that had individual cabins, very comfy. In Fairbanks we did a city tour for 4 hours then in the afternoon went on a Paddle boat "the Discovery 3" we stopped along the way and went into an Indian village and had information given to us by native descendents. The Americans certainly know how to make the most of a tour.
