I left Denali National Park on the way to Palmer. The scenery in Alaska just really never quits! It was beautiful. A bit down the road, I got a great view of Denali! She really is a gorgeous mountain. My words to describe the exquisiteness of Alaska are far to small to adequately express it,

Final Canada day If all goes well, I’ll be in Alaska today! My 50th state. If I make it to Alaska it will be the result of much riding on my own to visit so many places and see so many things. I’m awfully excited. Yukon has the worst roads I had said I was
