After Denali we drove two hours south to a little town on the Sustina river. The best thing about this location is my cousin Emily was the first guest to come visit us. Emily is from Colorado and just graduated college. During her visit we went fishing and took an airplane ride around Denali that included landing on a glacier. This flight had the most gorgeous views we have ever seen and the photos don’t even come close to doing it justice. If this isn’t on your bucket list, you need to add it.
