7/30/19 - Day 32 - ATV Fun!

We went on an excursion with Denali ATV Adventures. It was a blast! A shuttle bus takes you to their base camp and after a brief safety talk you load up on the machines. Pat and I rode individual ATV's, but you can also go on side-by-sides.


      Our awesome guides, Rachel, Tucker, and Gayle made sure we were safe, but also took us on trails with some challenging aspects that were fun to tackle.

We rocked back and forth over trails with humps and bumps, climbed a couple hills covered with fist sized rocks, and splashed through a few puddles and streams. Much different than riding through our back field at home. Kevin should be proud of me spraying mud and water!


In addition to keeping us safe and taking us on an exciting ride, our guides entertained us during our brief photo breaks. They told us about the coal mining history of the area, the various mountains and landforms, and some of the glacial geography that formed the surrounding landscape.

I'm sure I was grinning ear to ear most of the ride. Next time, maybe we will have to go on the 20 mile trip!

If you look on the left side of the lake, you see a
red building. That is where we started!
