28 July 2011 – Thursday

Yesterday, we bought tickets for a bus tour through Denali National Park.  There were three tours to choose from:  a 4-hour trip, an 8-hour trip, and an 11-hour trip.  We chose the 8-hour trip (on a school bus—not very comfortable for 8 hours).  Everyone had to bring a box lunch (no restaurants on the way).  I had to close my eyes on some of the mountain roads.  It was worth the trip.  We saw moose, mountain goats, a male grizzly, and down further a female grizzly with two of her cubs.  I thought that we might see Mount McKinley, but no such luck.  It is said that only about thirty percent of the people that come here actually see the top of the mountain because of the clouds.  It was a great day.20102011_0725(007)20102011_0728(127) 20102011_0728(033) 20102011_0727(039)
