NTA Day 36

Today was the highlight of the trip so far.  We arrived at the airport at about 10:15, checked in for our flight, and got our waterproof boots on (boots required for a glacier landing).  Our pilot showed up about fifteen minutes before departure time.  It turned out that he owns an airplane almost identical to Jennifer's, so he was more than happy to have Jennifer in the cockpit with him, at least for the first part of the trip.  Photos will do no justice to the grandeur of the Alaska Range and Denali (Mt. McKinley) from the air, but we'll post a few anyway.  The flight was just a bit over two hours, during which we wove through mountain passes, circled Denali, looked down on glaciers, and actually landed on one.  We got off the plane and had about fifteen minutes on the ice (Sunshine and 34 degrees).   After landing, we drove south to Palmer for the night.  Milepost 5527.  Tomorrow, it's on to there Kenai Peninsula.
