    "If you're gettin' bit, you need to walk faster." 😂 It's so true though. The alpine lake was absolute serenity. I just finished dinner, but the fish fry has me drooling. Another 10 of a vid 9L! ✌️

    Beer batter halibut deep fried is the best there is! That’s the sleeping lady mountain just beyond the Cook Inlet on your way back down from the lake. Beautiful 🤩 country!

    Oh my gawd, Halibut's my favorite and it looked so tasty cooked as fish n chips with the batter, I'm so jealous. We used to feast on King salmon when I was up there, baked the whole fish and of course King crab, yum...take care and travel on !!

    Thanks for this vid. I drove there from Florida last year. I was in Denali, Soldotna, and Seward. I passed through Anchorage of course. Unfortunately, for 12 days I got rained on 80% of the time. Did you know August is rainy season in AK? I didn’t, & locals told me they were having an unusually wet period, even for Aug. They said I missed months of fantastic weather by about a week. I had a couple of clear days, and the rainy days were still cool. British Columbia in both directions was clear and fantastic. Your view of Denali was great. At Denali Nat. park, they said a lot of people don’t see it when they’re there, because of clouds.
