It was another grandiose day. After a nice simple breakfast, we checked out some gift shops and gathered a little more info for our backcountry trek tomorrow. Then, we headed out to the furthest spot one can drive a private vehicle, Savage River. Along the way, we got our first views of Denali Peak. It is amazing how much prominence has. We took the Savage River Alpine Trail out of the campground and headed toward the river valley. It was an invigorating climb with plenty of fantastic panoramic views of the surrounding ridges. We topped it off with a 2 mile jaunt down the Savage River valley for views of the canyon. And, lastly, we wandered out the short Mountain Vista trail behind our campsite for a lovely picnic dinner by the stream shore.
