  • In today's video we're beginning our weekend getaway to Denali by driving from Anchorage to the Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge, where we will be staying for the next couple of nights. Along the way we got the most amazing view of Denali on this perfectly sunny day! We give you a tour of the Denali Princess lodge, show you our amazing dinner at Fanny Q's Saloon, and then call it a night under the Midnight Sun!

    I don't think I have ever heard anyone say "The mountain's out" outside of Washington and Oregon. But that totally makes that you would use that phrase in Alaska too!

    I will revisit your State in a few days going on an Alaskan cruise, first time as passenger after 10 years working on cruise ships. Is a joy to watch you because you always take the positive from everything. Greetings from Romania!

    Wonderful Video capturing the area beautifully. My wife and I are anxiously awaiting the next episode in case there are additional items to look out for, as we are staying there next week on the 13th and 14th June with a Princess land based tour ahead of our first Alaskan cruise. It's going to be a shock compared to Australia the snow-covered mountains are magnificent. We also hope to join the 30% club.

    This isn’t the lodge where cruisers stay when they’re doing a Princess land and water cruise, is it? This looks like such a great place to visit. I’d be reading all the signs and stories to learn all the history I could. I’ve never told you this, but I think you two are just the most adorable couple around. You say the sweetest things to Sheri all the time, and she obviously adores you. I can see the love in both your eyes every time you look at, or speak to/about each other! 😊❤🎉

    Yes, you CAN see Denali from Summit Lake! You can alsonsee her from Clear, Nenana and Fairbanks.
    I forget the name of the caribou herd, but they follow (from a distance) the Denali Highway, pass by Summit Lake and head west during migration in August, then retrace their steps in February - March.

    • @LeggLife
      @LeggLife  Місяць тому +1
