We saw Denali a week ago in Talkeetna and now we’re finally here, toured Glitter Gulch and got our white water rafting trip booked.
Trying our luck panning for gold, I think we need more practice. John found 1 piece but lost it later.
On our tour of Denali we were supplied with warm drinks, got a kick out of the use of a tackle box.
In Denali we got to see grizzly bears with cubs, caribou, dall sheep, and moose. But we didn’t get to see the tip of Denali on this tour.
We found a couple of nuggets this time. Still need a lot of practice to perfect our technique.
We checked out the pipeline, there was a viewpoint not far from Fairbanks. There was some interesting information boards here about the building of the pipeline.
We found the North Pole. It was a cute gift shop. They will hold mail for you to be delivered later, wink wink.
We saw Santa’s reindeer not too far from the gift shop.
We drove up to Chena Hot Springs to relax for awhile. There were some very hot spots in the spring.
The Antler Arch in Fairbanks.
On the drive to Tok we took a break at the Knotty Shop. They also had a nice looking RV Park here.
Inside the Knotty Shop, I lost track on the number and variety of animals they had on display. This was just one area.
