Denali Wednesday
On Wednesday we took a "Discovery Hike", which is a ranger-guided hike, without a trail, limited to 15 people. We rode a bus for 3 hours to Highway Pass, hiked for 5 hours, and then rode a bus back to the park entrance. Our ranger was Pavia Wald, who, to our surprise, is a synchronized swimmer.
 It was cloudy and rainy on Wednesday. |
