Alaska Did You Know

Readers, I suppose I should have known this, but my intrepid travel companion informed me that there really aren't any roads or trails in the National Parks in Alaska. I did a little looking myself. Take Denali, home of famous Mt. McKinley, and approximately the size of West Virginia. There's a road, called Parks Road, cuts through about three miles of the park, and then there's another road that goes 15 miles in. After that, you can take a shuttle another 50 miles in. That's it. No roads, no trails, just mountains and caribou. Wild. We have no idea what we're getting ourselves into, no idea at all. That's what's so exciting aobut it. Now if I only had more confidence in my '97 Subaru.
