A most beautiful train ride

Today we journeyed from Fairbanks to Denali via the Alaska Railroad. It is by far the most beautiful train ride we have ever taken. It reminded me of words from the Navaho Blessing way:  

 

With beauty may I walk.
With beauty before me, may I walk.
With beauty behind me, may I walk.
With beauty above me, may I walk.
With beauty below me, may I walk.
With beauty all around me, may I walk.

 

I would amend the word walk to ride on this train this day.  Here is just a bit of the beauty.  Dome car

Wild rivers

Trappers shack

We arrived at our destination and tonight will begin to learn about Denali National Park which is a wilderness park larger than the state of New Hampshire.
