TALKEETNA, ALASKA July 6-8

Talkeetna

Talkeetna is the base camp for the climbers that attempt climbing Mt. Denali (formerly McKinley).  We spent 2 nights and one full day in this quaint town.  There was an excellent film that related what the climbers had to do to prepare for their climb up Denali.  This year 1100 climbers checked in at the ranger station to climb Denali but only 426 climbers had reached  the Summit.  Weather did not permit a flight to the mountain which was 136 miles away.
