For the last flight of the day, we let someone else fly. We hired a Hudson Air C195 on skis to take us up to the Ruth Glacier on Mt. McKinley. Jock was our pilot and guide and he was happy to have a plane full of pilots that he could show around. It didn't take long before we were flying up glaciers amid the crags. The photos speak for themselves...
Jock landed lightly on the Ruth Glacier just below Don Sheldon's cabin. We got out, took photos went for a little walk and then spent a good while enjoying the deep silence before flying off again.
We claimed the last camping spot in the park and slept very well through a night of light rain.
