The air smelled so fresh in the morning! We decided to hike up Mount Healey before heading out of the park. I wore AJ and Beau wore Brady and evening though it was quite cool outside we got so sweaty!
The view was incredible and it didn’t hurt that AJ took a nice little nap on the way up as well! Brady walked party down but was pretty tired since he hasn’t napped in days. However, highly recommend this trail if you visit Denali when it’s not crowded.
We scarfed down some pb&j sandwiches (thank goodness the boys have been happy eating those almost every day!) then continued north to Fairbanks. Both Brady and AJ took nice naps in the car.
In Fairbanks we grabbed some dinner at the Blue Roof Bistro (very gluten free friendly!) and continued a bit further to the Steese Highway. We camped at the Chatanika River which was beautiful and empty but full of hungry mosquitoes! It must have rained before we arrived so there were huge puddles everywhere and the boys had a blast going through them on their bikes. Their tuffo suits were soaked and muddy!
