Woke up to another beautiful day in Denali, but our "wilderness adventure" is over and it's time to move on. We took the hotel shuttle to the train depot, where we boarded the noon train to Anchorage. We were in the Gold Star car again, but had been demoted to seats 2A&B, so we didn't quite have the vantage point of our last trip. It was nevertheless spectacular once again, although more overcast than our first leg. There was definitely no view of Mt. Kinley this time! Lots and lots of trees, small lakes, rivers and even a moose or two. This was a much longer trip - 8 hours - but the time passed quickly. Bruce spent quite a bit of time in the outside viewing area, snapping pictures as the world went by. We had a delicious dinner in the dining car - where the "BritBeat" band was also eating - never heard of them, but I see they are performing tomorrow night in Anchorage. Perhaps they're famous?? We got to the train station at 8pm, took a taxi to the G Street B&B, where we have a small but comfortable room. Looking forward to exploring Anchorage tomorrow!
