We stayed in a campground just outside the park and drove in every day. Everything in the park is located by distance from the entrance, called mileposts. One can only see a small fraction of the park because it covers 6 million acres….about the size of Massachusetts . Our main objective was to see the Mountain Top….something we did not do the last time we were here. The mountain top is most always covered with clouds, because it is the tallest mountain in North America at over 20,000 ft. One day as we drove in the clouds started to clear….as we got closer. Driving down the park road, approaching Mile Post 9….we sighted the mountain, massive and snow covered, glaciers were clearly visitable even though we were 80 miles away. It was called Mt McKinley in 1967…but in the 70’s they reverted back to it’s original Native people’s name….Denali meaning in Athabascan Indian, “The Great One”.  We were esthetic for the rest of the day….after driving thousands of miles we had a clear view of the great one. Because of weather conditions only about 20 % of the people who come here see the top. I wondered if Aunt Jessie had seen it when she went there in the 40’s. Other things we did around Denali were….ride bikes and geocache, hike the Knife Edge trail, look for wildlife, get a lesson about Athabascan culture from Mary, see a dinner show about Denali and attend Church. We have seven Catholic couples on the caravan and we usually attend church together.
