Darren, You are correct, that is beautiful scenery. Thank you for letting us see it, at least through your and Lisa's eyes, if not in person.
1999: Alaska Railroad You might have detected from that last photo we were a bit higher up and this is why... [FONT=Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica][/FONT]
No Way you're gonna get me to walk across that, and with a train passing too. My Pucker String doesn't pull tight enough...:wideeyes: Beautiful bridge and scenery though.
My wife and I, along with my two brothers and their wives plan on making that trip next summer. When we were kids, our family lived in Fairbanks for one year in the early 60s so it will be fun to see how much has changed in 50 years.
I'm not certain Ken; but, when I put the video together I will be looking closer at the route we took and maybe I will be able to detect the location...

That top photo, #313, skimming along with the tree tops at your same height. I have always loved that effect.

1999: Alaska Railroad [FONT=Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica]After spending the night at the [/FONT]Denali[FONT=Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica] Lodge, we head back to the train depot and await our train for this days ride... [/FONT]
When we arrived at the Lodge on the 29th it was still raining but on the 30th we took advantage of a bus tour into the park that was very enjoyable.
