We spent a few days at Denali
State Park after leaving Denali
National Park.

| Relaxing! |
 |
| Hiking |
It was a bare bones campground on Lake Beyers.
We did some hiking and relaxing and even rented some kayaks to paddle Lake Beyers. BJ & I left our kayaks in FL so it has been a while since we were on the water. The last time was in the Keys last November!
The lake was surrounded by the mountains so was literally glass smooth and the sun was shining bright after several days of rain so we could not have asked for better conditions. The young man at the paddle shop told us to paddle directly across the lake without looking back
or we would turn to salt! Actually he said we would be amazed when we turned around!

Mt McKinley, aka Denali, was beautiful on this bright sunny day. It was much more impressive to see it all at once rather then incrementally as we crossed the lake (.6 mi at that point)!

| Trumpeter Swans are regal! |

We enjoyed some hiking around the lake and one evening after a beautiful day we enjoyed HH outside and cooked dinner over a real fire rather then a grill!

| Join us for HH! |

Always home, no matter where we are!!
