Fairbanks to Valdez, Alaska Canada Holiday

This lakes area forms the headwaters of the Delta River which we had been following for the last few hours. The Tangle Lakes area, also renowned for its fishing, was not far along the Denali highway from its junction with the Richardson highway at Paxson. There is very little at Paxson, basically just a gas station, so easy to miss the turnoff if you are not watching carefully. And it is easy to get distracted but the amazing scenery all around you. We drove to where the paving stopped and the gravel began. RV rentals are not allowed on this stretch of gravel road that cuts through to Denali. We could have camped here by one of the lakes but decided we would put a few more miles behind us before we stopped for the night.
