Yes, and there's another use for Alaska Ferries besides skipping Canada. :)

Take the ferry to Prince Rupert and see a bit more of a different area of Canada than you saw heading for the Alaska Hwy...

Don't know anything about Ennis but one thing that I'm not sure has been mentioned is crossing the border between the Yukon and Alaska with food.

The bus trip is an absolute no-brainer. Absolutely a must do.

However, whether you get a shot like that depends on Mother Nature. Clouds love a mountain. We didn't get that shot until we were...

The rest stop/campground South of Denali might offer much more flexibility for a meet-up/rally gathering. Folks with different time tables could come and go with maybe a bit of an overlap in when...

Wow, they really do have a high contrast in their climate.

Quite a difference from being there on the longest day of the year when it's still daylight past your normal bedtime. :)

Reminds me of a TV interview with a firefighter this week. When asked where he was from he said Florida. Then, for our Canadian benefit, added that's in the United States. :rolleyes:

Well that certainly builds in the ability to catch up to a schedule if the unexpected happens, like a road closure or bridge washout.

On Hwy. 37 I notice that you're not staying at Boya Lake. In...

You're correct and it's a bit of an unusual situation with a park having several separate areas. The main one is the one about mid-lake.

It's a very popular area, within an easy drive of...
