This is the turn around point, we are now heading South to where the nights are longer. The 24 hour daylight is exhilarating but makes it hard to get a full night sleep. Can’t help thinking it’s already morning every time I wake up.

The drive is short to Denali and we are there mid day. Problem is Mini is not allowed on the hiking trails so we opt to hike the short Horseshoe Lake trail without her. The trail is beautiful and we are in luck.

Then we take Mini for a walk on the pet friendly trail and she is not happy having to wait at the railway crossing for the Alaska Wilderness train on the way to Fairbanks with all the cruise ship passengers aboard. That whistle is just too much.
