Ken, Actually, the Denali "highway" is really what
it is called (got a copy of Milepost handy?) It
isn't in the park at all. It is an extremely poor
dirt road
(well, fair gravel near the Georges) that connects
the Georges parkway with
the Richardson along the Alaska Range.
It goes between Cantwell on the west and Paxton on
the east.
A few miles east of Cantwell affords, as Cory
mentioned and I did earlier, a
great clear view of Denali. Do the road next time
you go... but don't tell
too many people :)
Yeah, don't tell too many people. They've been making noise of
paving it for quite some time. IMO there are a lot of roads up there
where motor homes need not be accomodated for.
Great memories of the interior, but still not quite as surreal as
the past summer when I flew my own airplane down White Pass into Juneau.
Really weird flying it myself after having lived there for so long.
