Bill Went Up....There??

The buildings up above are the Denali Grand Hotel. It doesn't look very high up but there are about 10-12 hairpin turns to maneuver to drive up there.

I drove a motor coach up there twice (and drove down also) in the past two days to pick up tourists for tours only to find that they weren't there in both cases. But it was a bit of a challenge ( I had driven it once before with one of our supervisors along with me) and there is a great view from up there as you can see below

The Nenana River running more or less left to right, part of one of the hairpin turns.

The Nenana River, The Parks Highway going up and down in the middle, highway bridge and the walking bridge in the center, one of the hairpin turns with part of another in the lower right.

The buildings in the center are the National Park Wilderness Access Center. Somewhere out there is the National Park Visitor's Center and the rail depot.

All the little red roofed buildings are the Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge, Nenana River in back, Parks Highway in front, some of our buses in the right center.

The Denali Grande Hotel just above the roof of one of the building at the railroad. The rest of Sugarloaf Mountain in the background.
