Alaska - 18 Anchorage to Denali
I arrived in Anchorage late the night of July 17, 2022 minus one bag. OK Delta Airlines, that's 2 for two; first Croatia, now Anchorage. Bag arrived midnight. I stayed at the Captain Cook Hotel. I was assigned a suite, which was way cool. These are images of my room and the view from the suite taken the morning of the 18th. Anchorage was very beautiful even in the overcast weather. We boarded a bus which took us from the hotel in Anchorage to the Alaska Railroad train station in Talkeetna. We made a pit stop at this grocery store in Willow, Alaska along the way. Hopefully, we bought enough drinks and snacks to justify using their facilities, because we all used them. There was a toilet on the bus but it was more for emergency use and didn't have the capacity to handle all of us. We boarded train to travel to Denali at this Talkeetna "train station" (more like a wide spot in the road.. It was a beautiful train ride viewing mountains, rivers, waterfalls, and more. My R5 camera battery died almost immediately upon boarding. The spares were in the suitcase in the bus. My cell phone camera came through in the pinch.
