Our first visit to Denali and the North Face Lodge was in 2000; I've been eager to return and this trip included Matt and his partner Christina.
The Lodge is a four hour bus ride from the Park entrance to the heart of Denali with lots to see:

 |
| Tokat River |
 |
| Bald Eagle |
A variety of guided and independent outings awaited:
 |
| Matt (orange) and I hiked Eagle's Nest Trial |
 |
| and sotted a Spruce Grouse |
 |
| We canoed Wonder Lake |
 |
| Judy painted... |
 |
| Matt biked |
 |
Christina and I explored the end of the road
(and did I mention mosquitos) |
On our last night Tony Knowles (Alaska Governor 1994-2004) joined us for dinner and discussed the perils of the Pebble Mine project.
Although the weather was mostly overcast with light rain--the Denali Mountain Range made an appearance...
