Denali hike, dog sledge and other - Alaska part 5

For dinner we ate some mexican, a togo from a thai cart, some ice cream from mom and pop shop. These shops and carts spring up in Denali for 3-4 months of tourism that the park gets. The rest of the year they either disappear or lock down and continue their business in rest of Alaska like Anchorage or Fairbanks. On the next day after a sledge dog tour, some hike and trying to see Mt Mckingley one last time, we headed back to Anchorage. We wanted to do the ATV but did not have enough time for that and assumed the water was too cold for any rafting. I felt sad to leave the grand beautiful Denali. In those last few days, knowing so much about Denali, its habitat and hiking its terrains, made me feel i was home. We stopped on our way back taking in as much as we could with us as memories. It was a pretty rainy day. We reached home around 7, checked into our hotel and headed straight to "Moose's Tooth" for some great pizza!
Here are some photos of the hikes, the wilderness express and the quaint Denali rail station amongst the hills and famous The dog sledge; the only means of winter transport.
