Review summary

our favorite part of the cruise tour was the land. We had an escorted tour and Liz Bell was a fabulous guide. Very knowledge and even made dinner reservations for us each evening. We loved Mt. McKinley Lodge, Telketnia river float trip, and the train ride gave us glimpses of wildlife along the way. The morning we left McKinley Lodge we were ask to have our luggage out at 6:30 am and we were not scheduled to leave until 12:00 noon. 5 1/2 hours is much to much time  to eat breakfast. Activities need to be scheduled or tour needs to leave earlier. Too big of a time gap with nothing to do.
