We went camping on the Denali Highway for 4 nights over the Memorial Day weekend. We left Thursday night and came back Monday. We didn't get to do any fishing since the water was so high, but we did a lot of 4 wheeling.
The Denali Highway is about 135 miles long with almost 100 miles of gravel road. The highway goes from Paxson to Cantwell. This used to be how visitors reached Denali Park until the Parks highway was built in the early 70's. The highway is closed in the winter and usually reopens by the middle of may. This is a great trip to take and spend a few days fishing and wildlife viewing. There are Princes lodges buses that make the trip and a lot of motor-homes. There are a couple of lodges to spend the night, but very limited services.
Here are some caribou that Jen took a picture of.
I was able to catch this one up on the ridge checking me out.
Seattle Creek flowing very high.
A place Mike has named "Land Before Time"

Wood for a few fires.
