Jeff King Kennels & the beautiful Denali Mountains!!!!!

Today we had the opportunity to visit 4 time Iditarod Champion Jeff King at his beautiful home in Denali! He owns land in Denali called the "Husky Homestead" where we has his kennels. His property totals up to be around 135 acres and was definitely my favorite stop in Alaska so far... I didn't want to leave! Check out the pictures of today along with some pretty amazing mountain shots!

The entrance to the Husky Homestead, Jeff Kings property in Denali!




Jeff King working on his sleds in his man cave...
How they keep track of the teams in the garage, magnets and a cookie tray! Easy enough!

My lunch was Moose Stew...so good!

And Alaskan Salmon!


 

One of Jeffs handlers sewing the canopy on the sled. Mushing is a team effort!

The favorites get to hang in Dads shop!

Play time!



This dog was one of my favorites today! This picture doesn't show it well but he is very long and tall and weighs about 80lbs...big for a husky team!




No caption needed!



Another cutie watching the house!



The next pictures are the mountains that surround the property of Jeff King and the Denali area...my favorite part of Alaska. Enjoy!

Leaving the Husky Homestead

Exiting the Husky Homestead...and yes I stuck my camera outside the truck for these pictures. SO worth it.

So awesome.


We were driving through Denali just as the sun was setting. Perfect timing for pictures!



Where else can you get that backdrop at a gas station?


And last but not least, Mt. Denali...AKA Mt. McKinley :)
