AKtoFL: The Chulitna River & the Alaska Range (31 May 2011)

Chulitna River and the Alaska Range
Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Alaska (31 May 2011).
Day 01 of the 2011 Roadtrip from Alaska to Florida (Mile 0134 of 7221).

My first significant waypoint –an area I’d hike around and explore a bit– was Denali State Park (still a bit south of Denali National Park, which we’ll visit later in this series). Featured here is Chulitna River backdropped by the Alaska Range holding sentry to the northwest.
