DenaliHwy071P7017560 Kate took this shot from the Jeep. The reflection off one of the Tangle Lakes was great to see. DenaliHwy071P7017560
DenaliHwy072P7017563 I took this one after stopping at a pull out to shot it. That night we stayed at the Tangle Lakes Campground. DenaliHwy072P7017563
DenaliHwy073P7020005 The next day, July 2, 2005, we went to get gas at the Tangle Lakes Lodge. Te view of the lakes and Amphitheater Mountains from the lodge was pretty good. This photo shows some of the cabins in the area with a nice U-shaped valley in the background from former glaciers. DenaliHwy073P7020005
DenaliHwy074P7020009 Kate just had to photograph me. DenaliHwy074P7020009
DenaliHwy075P7027565 We each took posed shots of the other with the lakes and mountains in the scene... DenaliHwy075P7027565
DenaliHwy076P7027567 ...this one is of me... DenaliHwy076P7027567
DenaliHwy077P7027568 ...then we both got in one of the photos. DenaliHwy077P7027568
DenaliHwy078P7027569 Once back on the road, we eventually came to the Landmark Gap viewpoint. The Gap as it is also called, was scoured by glaciers in the past ice age (U-shaped valley). Though cloudy on this day, the peaks of Mt. Moffit and McGinnis Peak can usually be seen through the Gap. DenaliHwy078P7027569
DenaliHwy079NotchPan I also managed to take a panoramic photo of the Landmark Gap view. DenaliHwy079NotchPan
DenaliHwy080P7027585 ALong the way, we took many stops just to check out the area and to take photos of the Alaska Range. I tried to get the Jeep in there for scale with some of them. DenaliHwy080P7027585
DenaliHwy081P7027586 Kate was also very excited to be seeing more of Alaska, as I was. DenaliHwy081P7027586
DenaliHwy082P7027588 Our first sighting of the Maclaren Glacier and Mt. Hayes nearby. DenaliHwy082P7027588
DenaliHwy083P7027590 Some of the little creatures along the trip. This is an arctic ground squirrel near the Maclaren Summit trail. DenaliHwy083P7027590
DenaliHwy084MacClarenValleyPan This was the panoramic viewpoint near Maclaren Summit of the Maclaren River, Glacier, and Mt. Hayes in the distance. DenaliHwy084MacClarenValleyPan
DenaliHwy085P7027601 We checked out a little portion of the Maclaren Summit trail, but the summit is not much higher than what you can see in the distance, so we headed back... DenaliHwy085P7027601
DenaliHwy086P7027606 ...to the Jeep, with the Maclaren Glacier and Mt. Hayes in the distance. DenaliHwy086P7027606
DenaliHwy087P7027607 Another closer shot of the upper Maclaren Glacier. DenaliHwy087P7027607
DenaliHwy088P7027610 Kate hugs a buddy at the Maclaren River Lodge. DenaliHwy088P7027610
DenaliHwy089P7027611 From the area of the lodge, we walked over the bridge that spans the Maclaren River. In the distance, the Maclaren Glacier and Alaska Range can be seen. DenaliHwy089P7027611
DenaliHwy090P7027612 A zoomed in shot of the Macvlaren Glacier with the Alaska Range. DenaliHwy090P7027612
DenaliHwy091P7027616 An even closer zoomed in shot of the Maclaren Glacier. DenaliHwy091P7027616
DenaliHwy092P7027619 The area of the Maclaren River Lodge. DenaliHwy092P7027619
DenaliHwy093P7027620 A nice friendly dog came up to greet us. He was one of the group of sled dogs that you could take a kennel tour to see. We chose to just pet him and head back to the Jeep. DenaliHwy093P7027620
DenaliHwy094P7027621 Kate loved this shot. It is pretty funny to see the canoe in the river muds filled half way with water. The water should be outside the canoe. DenaliHwy094P7027621
DenaliHwy095P7027622 Another parting shot of the Maclaren River, Glacier, and the Alaska Range. DenaliHwy095P7027622
