Day 11 - Talkeetna

Still at McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge, we took the shuttle ride to the town of Talkeetna. At about a 50 minute ride, it's the nearest town of substance with a population of a bit over 1,000. It's also where all the touristy things happen. Also, for 20+ years it's mayorship has been held by two cats.

We went on the Devil's Canyon Adventure! It's a five hour ride 130 miles up river on a jetboat, a nature walk with reproductions of how the earliest native and non-native settlers lived, and a wild ride in the intense rapids if Devil's Canyon.
