The June 23 team drove to Talkeetna this morning, checked in with the Rangers at Denali National Park, and flew into Denali’s base camp at 7000 ft on the SE fork of the Kahiltna Glacier. It’s a busy day, but they enjoyed beautiful weather and they are off to a great start. The flight into base camp in a small ski-equipped plane, where you land on a glacier, is a memorable experience and a great way to start the trip.
Here’s a photo of the team this morning after they loaded their gear into the van for the drive to Talkeetna.
