Our last day in Alaska was spent in Denali. We went out to view the Dog Sled demo, which we thought was going to be kind of cheesy, but it turned out to be pretty interesting. We saw the dogs, so a demo of them pulling the sled (but no snow). It was pretty good. We drove in the park 1 last time, before our drive back to Anchorage. As we drove back, we kept seeing the rare peaks of the mountain, so we pulled over for a view in both the North and South view State Parks. It is pretty cool that Alaska has State Parks just to view the mountain. We got a great view from the south view park. We were pretty lucky to get so many views of the mountain on our trip. It is a rare site we have been told.
We got back to Anchorage about 10pm, with plenty of day light left, so we took a walk along the parkway onlong the shore. We then went to the airport to check in for our 1 am flight to Portland. Anchorage is the most inefficient airport I have ever been in. There was only 1 securty check point and 9 people working the 1 line. It took forever to get through security. I discovered though, that they checked both my bags!
We arrived in Portland to visit with Teri's friend, Kandi for a few days. We are headed up to Mt. Hood today, so look for more pictures later.
