Flight seeing day

today is monday. we stayed at the hostel near denali NP again. we got up fairly early as we had a flight-seeing trip scheduled. after a quick briefing we were up and away in a twin engine with 8 other people. it took about 20 minutes to get near denali but there were some cool sights on the way. at 13000 they had us put on oxygen masks as we were on our way to 20000+. we got to denali, circled over and around a few times and took it all in. quite the site. i was snapping pics and taking videos left and right. i'm sure they'll all be pretty lame...can't do the flight justice at all. it was way cool, tho. the pilot said it was -20 outside the plane and that we were zipping around at 200mph. it got kinda bumpy a few times but the pilot got us out of it quickly. no climbers on the mnt (too late in season). glaciers, icefalls, etc...it was all quite cool.
after the flight, we traveled east on the denali highway. it's a remote gravel road that has some decent scenery. we did a little fly fishing and i caught 4 graylings. pretty fun. we saw a huge bald eagle. then arrived at our lodging for the night. tangle inn. we had some grub then went out on the lake in a canoe with our fly rods. apparently only lake trout and burbot are in the lake and we weren't prepared for deep fishing, so no luck. it was still cool to get out on the water. another great day of weather.
tomorrow we head for valdez where we'll catch a ferry the next day which crosses the prince willy sound to the kenai peninsula. we'll spend most of the rest of our time in that area.
we're just chilling tonight. we'll the sack early then sight see on our way down to valdez. we're both pretty tired and it's only 10pm.
