While most people would be trying to stay indoors when the temperature is 20 below Fahrenheit, I decided to keep with my plans of backpacking in Denali National Park in the middle of December.  So one day before the shortest day of the year, I started into the park with a 70lbs pack and some snowshoes. Overall, it was quite the experience! Some of it pleasant, some of it miserable, but I would totally do it again.  Since the name of the game was survival, carrying camera gear was not a part of the plan. I did bring a small point and shoot and was able to get a few interesting pictures.  Here are some pictures from the trip.
