The Bus

One of the interesting sights near Healy is the Stampede Trail. You may have read the book Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer or have seen the movie, or maybe you know of Christopher McCandless’ story.  His final trip into the wild was following the Stampede Trail in Denali and then off into the wilderness not to return again. If you know the story, you might recognize the ‘magic bus' in the pictures below.

While this is not the actual bus Christopher McCandless camped out in, it is an exact replica located in town. It is however, the bus they filmed the movie in. Still, I was excited to see it in person.
