After riding as far as allowed in Denali park, I headed back to town, rain starting to spoil things as usual, but I had seen some of the majestic peaks greeting first time visitors in the park, the rest can only be seen via bus tour or many of the flights offered in the area.

Rain starts setting in again, but I had a chance to see some of the park and I am happy. Video:
I took few more pictures while headed back to town to find a place for the night.
I got out of rain booking a nice motel room with mountain view, then had dinner in the upscale Denali Princess Lodge restaurant across the street.
While food and wine were a good change from my usual road food, I realized I had grown to somewhat dislike all the atmosphere associated with touristy places and the fakeness that accompanies tourist traps; much rather prefer a meal by a camp fire with a nice company for conversation. That feeling may likely have had to do with one of my previous lives, where I allowed myself to believe blindly in idols such as the ones below.
But getting out of the rain in a room was nice for a change, hot shower refreshing after several days in the saddle. My room window was right above the store fronts in this picture taken around mid night.
With a little help from my friend Jack Daniel’s and drawing the heavy curtains I soon fell in a deep sleep.
