Interior Alaska

We drove south out of Fairbanks towards Denali National Park. We left the pavement and headed out the old Denali Highway , the original 100 mile gravel road to the National Park now abandoned. We drove several hours out to a remote State Park and spent 3 days fishing and enjoying the wilderness. There were very few fellow travelers out in these remote areas.

We camped close to the river, we could hear the rapids
The Alaska Range we traveled along for 200 miles
Our campsite backed up to this cold clear river. Signs warned us of potentially dangerous bears .
