Hi!!
Mt. McKinley came into view. It was a majestic site. Our tour guide said we were fortunate to see it! Only 25% of people that come to the park see it... WOW! It had been so rainy, smokey and cloudy that Mt. McKinley wasn't visible. We went on the perfect day!
The wildlife that day was magnificent to say the least! We saw 5 doll sheep, 12 grizzly bears(including cubs), a Pika(a small mouse with large ears), a Ptarmigan( the Alaska state bird), 2 caribou(one that was being stalked by a lynx), and 6 moose including a cow and her calf in a pond. The only 2 animals that we didn't see that live in the park was a wolf and a wolverine. We also caught a few glimpses of a Golden Eagle! My, what a day!! Our guide, Martin, said it was the "most wildlife" he had seen all summer. Our prayers for good weather were definitely answered, and we saw amazing wildlife and scenery. Denali National park was truly an awesome experience!
Happy Kampers signing off! :)
