Denali Nat Park Road

The Denali Park road has become my favorite weekend bike ride. It is a two hour drive from Fairbanks, so worth it for even a long day ride. The wildlife is incredible. This summer I made 3 trips in to Wonder Lake. One was a big 170 mile solo one day round trip, but the other rides were slightly more civilized, involving camping and companions. I have been re-inspired to start bringing the "real" camera on my adventures and actually update this old blog.

The light in the park, coming in and out of the clouds and fog is amazing

What is it about symmetry that is so appealing?
