Saturday dawned bright blue skies . . . we probably could have seen Denali if we had taken the bus, but of course, we did not. Oh well . . . I think I am going to have to return at least one more time.
Instead we decided to sleep late, have blueberry muffins and eggs with reindeer sausage, and go on a walk from our campground to the Teklenika Bridge and then home on the road. It would be a walk of about 5 miles, but it was pretty flat. Walking in the braided river was a challenge since it is entirely rocks, but we managed pretty well. We saw moose tracks and wolf tracks, but no bear tracks – and although I would have loved to have seen a bear, we really were better off not seeing one.
Once we arrived close to our campground, we saw a trail that led to a boggy part of the area. We decided to follow it, as we felt certain it would come out close to the campground. It was a gorgeous walk – the muskeg was soft, the colors were gorgeous . . . CJ said he felt like he was in Narnia. It was a beautiful way to end a great hike!
