To Denali National Park

Tuesday was a transit day.  We phoned Denali early in the morning from Fairbanks to place a reservation for 2 seats on a tour bus tomorrow.  Then we drove through constant fog and drizzle about 100 miles south of Fairbanks to the continent's largest mountain.  On a clear day, we might have seen the mountain on our way but not today. 

We were only able to see the foothills.
Yesterday we were told this area is a desert, but we must have got a month's worth of rain in the last 3 days.  It started again before dawn and kept up all day, not hard, just a constant drizzle with no sun and temps in the 50s.

We got to the park's Visitors Center early this afternoon and picked up our tickets for tomorrow.  They also had a couple of short videos and a pretty good museum for our afternoon's entertainment.  We're hoping that we'll be able to view Mt. McKinley tomorrow but the forecast looks like more rain.
