"I remember this night and all I had was pure solitude. I can't forget just staring at the night sky thinking how lucky I was to be in that place and in that moment, in front of Denali reflected on the lake right before me.
Shortly after, the Aurora Borealis did not disappoint and completed my night!
This was truly one of the best nights I had and for a second I didn't have to worry about anything. Then I remembered where I was - in the middle of nowhere and realized that any wildlife could appear, tear down my tent, and eat me while asleep."
