First day of our trip in Alaska and first day in Denali NP. A myth if you live in the lower 48. It is really big, not the biggest though. It is really difficult to explore, but still there is a 90+ miles road that is crossing it. Only Denali NP bus and few lucky private vehicles can ride this road. From Anchorage we got into the park by bus. It has been a 5 hour ride. A little bit faster than if we would used the train. But everybody say that the train is probably the best way to make the ride. Next time maybe, today we just took a picture of the outside ...
Once into the park we took the bus to our campground, set the tent and we went busk walking. The only way to see Denali. In fact there are no trails in Denali. This is done in order to minimize the impact of people on the environment.
The landscape is absolutely fantastic, but what is really impressive is the silence broken only by the wind and by the river flowing. The silence. Something we are not used anymore to.

It's so beautiful. I'll bet the quiet you speak of must have been heavenly. Did you see any wildlife on our first day? I can't wait until day 2.
