Day 2, Sept 3 Afternoon - Bus trip to Denali National Park
Bus to Denali National Park. 5:13
The afternoon involved a motor coach trip from Fairbanks to the Denali Princess Lodge arriving around 4:00pm. The driver was good at pointing out interesting things along the way so the around a hundred miles went fairly quickly. We stopped for about half an hour in Nenana for a break at kind of a rest stop.
The Princess Lodge reminded us of the Disney Wilderness Lodge in Orlando, Florida, on a MUCH smaller scale. It was in a beautiful setting with mountains all around. The room was very nice and we enjoyed a nice dinner of Salmon. I'm not sure if you are required to eat Salmon at every meal in Alaska but probably every meal has something Salmon in or with it!
