YouTube Video Description

In this video, we leave Anchorage and head north to Denali National Park. This drive has some of the best views in all of Alaska and we lucked out with insanely clear weather the whole day! Denali Mountain was out without a cloud in the sky, a sight that is super rare for this mountain. On our way we stopped at a great place in Palmer, Alaska for amazing paninis, we revisited the spot where we met (!!!) and checked out some incredible views of Denali along the George Parks Highway. At the end of the drive we checked into a very unique spot just outside of Denali National Park Vagabond Blues (lunch spot) https://zmenu.com/vagabond-blues-palmer-online-menu/ McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge (where we met) https://www.princesslodges.com/princess-alaska-lodges/mckinley-lodge/ McKinley Creekside Cafe (dinner spot) https://www.mckinleycabins.com/copy-of-cafe-bakery Denali Hostel and Cabins https://www.denalihostel.com/ Stay tuned as we have a lot of Alaskan videos to come!
