Denali to Talkeetna with Sarah and Jason

7/16/13

We departed the Denali area driving south on the Parks Highway to Willow, AK.  This is about 175 miles south and near Talkeetna, AK.  We stopped at the Mat-Su RV Park at milepost 90.7.  Sarah and Jason planned a Zip-Line tour for the next day as Joy and I planned a sightseeing flight over Mt. McKinley with a landing on Ruth Glacier.  The evening included plans for a river tour on M
ahay’s Jet Boats our to Talkeetna.

7/17/13

The morning dawned with low clouds and warmer temperatures that would end out hopes for fly over Mt. McKinley, but the Zip-Line tour went forward.  Sarah and Jason had a great time as you can see below.  We all joined up later in the day for the boat tour after dinner in Talkeetna.  We decided to travel further south a day or so early to allow Sarah and Jason to see more of Alaska, including the Seward Highway drive from Anchorage down to Portage and Girdwood.
