Day 1: Fairbanks to Denali

After arriving in Fairbanks the previous afternoon, we got up early on Day 1 to catch the train from Fairbanks to Denali National Park. When we arrived at the Denali Park Depot, we boarded a bus for our seven-hour journey to Camp Denali, with a wonderful mid-afternoon picnic break. Lots of sitting, but fortunately the scenery and the wildlife were spectacular! We saw eight bears, numerous caribou, and a pair of nesting gyrfalcons before arriving at Camp Denali and settling into our cabins for the night.
