Shirley Belz from Michigan was happily surprised with the attention. Thirteen is my lucky number so when they said the thirteenth rider in line would be the 2 millionth visitor, I paid attention, Said Ms. Belz. Denali Park Resorts representative Mike Cobbold donated a rafting trip, dinner for two at the Park Hotel to Ms. Belz and provided free lunches for all the visitors on the bus. Denali National Park Superintendent Stephen P. Martin gave Ms. Belz a new Park Pass and a wooden plaque to commemorate the event. Alaska Natural History Association gave Ms. Belz an annual membership for discounts at their bookstores.
