DenaliHwy096P7027626 Some of the Alaska Range in the area of Waterfowl Lakes. DenaliHwy096P7027626
DenaliHwy097P7027630 This may not look like much, but it is called an esker. Eskers are sinuous riges of glacial meltwater sediment that was deposited at the base of a glacier. Basically this esker is where an under-glacier stream flowed to release meltwater from the glacier. Just imagine being in this area when the glaciers were here. Standing on this esker, a large glacier would be on top of you. DenaliHwy097P7027630
DenaliHwy098P7027631 Some of the jagged ridges in the area of the eskers... DenaliHwy098P7027631

DenaliHwy102SusitnaRiverValleyPan As we drove along, the Susitna River came in sight. This panoramic shows off the area. DenaliHwy102SusitnaRiverValleyPan
DenaliHwy103P7027650 Some of the Clearwater Mountains along the drive... DenaliHwy103P7027650
DenaliHwy104P7027651 ...and a zoomed in shot of the peak of the previous photo. DenaliHwy104P7027651

DenaliHwy106SusitnaRiverValleyPan2 The Susitna River area panoramic photo as we got closer to the bridge that spans it. DenaliHwy106SusitnaRiverValleyPan2
DenaliHwy107P7027670 Kate and I pulled off to grab some lunch once we reached the Susitna River. These guys were just setting out to float along the river. At first (as seen here) they were not making much headway against the strong current, but then they turned to head down river. DenaliHwy107P7027670
DenaliHwy108P7027672 A photo of the Susitna River bridge. DenaliHwy108P7027672
DenaliHwy109P7027675 We headed out onto the bridge to photgraph the area of the Susitna Glacier. As an aside, the Susitna Glacier is actually the area where the 2002 Denali Fault earthquake began. There was a newly discovered thrust fault (now known as the Susitna Galcier Thrust Fault) that ruptured, then continued traveling down the Denali Fault then on to the Totschunda Fault.

DenaliHwy110P7027677 A zoomed in shot of the Susitna Glacier region. DenaliHwy110P7027677
DenaliHwy111P7027688 Later on during the drive, I saw this outcrop in the mountains, that to me looked like it may be a small fault scarp. Don't really know. DenaliHwy111P7027688
DenaliHwy112P7027690 Further along the road, I took a shot back toward the area of the Susitna Glacier. The further down the road we went the better the view into the area of the glacier. DenaliHwy112P7027690
DenaliHwy113AlaskaRangePan I took another panormaic photo of the Alaska Range in this area. DenaliHwy113AlaskaRangePan

DenaliHwy122P7027723 ...I then zoomed in on her to get a better shot of the mountains in the view. DenaliHwy122P7027723

DenaliHwy124P7027725 ...and another. DenaliHwy124P7027725
DenaliHwy125P7027729 We finally came to the part of the Denali Highway where we ended the previous trip, the Brushkana Creek. DenaliHwy125P7027729
DenaliHwy126P7027734 We ended the evening of the 2nd of July in the touristy portion north of Denali National Park. This is a view from the parking lot of the one hotel for mostly tourists. This ourcop area is part of the Nenana River Canyon. DenaliHwy126P7027734
DenaliHwy127P7027736 Though we didn't take any photos of the next day's activities (July 3, 2005), I took a photo of the ending point of the whitewater rafting trip that Kate and I took. Tis was a raft from July 2nd that was waiting to be filled with people. The Nenana River is the river we took the rafting trip on the next day. DenaliHwy127P7027736
