We departed Fairbanks aboard the Alaska Railroad in the Royal Celebrity dome car. The views were phenomenal. Breakfasted with John & Amy. The food was superb. The staff was fun. And the drinks were extraordinary. We lunched at a restaurant in Denali National Park then boarded a green school bus for an absolutely incredible Tundra Wilderness Tour. Our driver Bill Berry was most personable and had a terrifically sharp eye for spotting wildlife. We saw ptarmigan, caribou, Dall sheep, and grizzlies. We got some little peeks at the great peak Denali (Mt. McKinley) but for the most part it stayed shrouded in clouds. We ended the day with a delicious dinner and some great beer at the Denali Lodge with Chris & MJ.
