Denali National Park

Today was a 4.30am wake up call and we left for the park at 6am. We travelled 60 miles into the park. The road was a bit like the Treble Cone road but the drivers are very skilled and I was never scared. It was a brilliant clear morning with the sun shining. Mt Denali standing at 24,000 feet was majestic. We were lucky enough to see the whole mountain with no cloud at all. It is an awesome site. Only 10% of people who go to Denali ever see the whole mountain fully exposed so we were very lucky.
As we drove through the park we saw many wild animals including a moose and 2 baby moose, a bear with 2 cubs, several caribou, a wolf, a fox and several dall sheep. As you cannot get off the bus you must try to get photos through the windows. Also a telephoto lens on a camera is an asset. One has to do the best with the equipment. The main thing is the memories we now have of these animals in their natural environment. It was well worth the 8 hours in the bus.
