Alaska - 19 Denali by Bus & Airplane
The tour included a bus ride into the National Park of Mount Denali. There were too many clouds to see Mount Denali (used to be called Mount McKinley). The bus was controlled by the National Park but was made for kids not adults. Many windows didn't close properly. It was cold and uncomfortable. I wouldn't recommend it for most. It was too crowded to take photos inside the bus. The best photos were photos of the bus camera on drop down screens. Very sad. The flight over the Denali National Park was the highlight of the Denali pre-tour. The pilot taught us so much about glaciers and the park. The skill of the pilot was incredible. As a pilot myself I was very impressed with how he handled the turboprop between layers and his knowledge of the park. This hour and a half flight was the best of Alaska so far.
