Denali, another highlight and one of our favorite places didn’t disappoint us at all. Camped right in one of Denali’s campgrounds. First night we took a shuttle bus out 15 miles. They also only allow private vehicles to go out 15 miles. The tour buses go out much further. There are 6 million acres, but only 92 miles are open the public, and that is by shuttle/tour.
Next morning, up at 7, and on the bus to Kantishna at 8:30 for 13 hour tour. Not bad at all. Packed snacks, lunch and dinner sandwiches and drinks. We had a lot of pit stops in between also. Mt McKinley again in view; the total view is just awesome! Saw 11 bears, 5 moose, 3 caribous, 1 wolf, 1 porkupine and a gray jay bird. The first bear was special as it walked down the road right past the stopped bus and on down the road. It was a great day!
This bear was just awesome, sauntering by and could care less that we were there.
