We took a quick trip to Talkeetna this weekend in hopes of showing Mamie Mt. McKinley. The trip up was very nice and we stayed at the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge. They say that only about 1 in 3 people who go to see Mt. McKinley actually get a chance to see it. Normally it is covered with clouds.
At the lodge you can put in a wake-up request if the mountain clears. We were lucky enough to receive a call about 5am that next morning and had a beautiful view of Mt. McKinley.
We spent the next morning 4-wheeling in the mud. Afterwards we cleaned up and took a walk through Talkeetna. As you can see from the photos, mamie seemed to enjoy herself. Talkeetna has 2 main streets each about 3 blocks long. Talk about blink and you miss it.
Our last morning at the lodge, we watched the clouds clear again to give us a 2nd beautiful view of Mt. McKinley and the Denali Mountain Range.
