We took a drive as far as we could go into Denali National Park, hoping to see Mt. McKinley. Unfortunately, it was too cloudy and we never saw it. We did see some beautiful country though.
As we were driving through town, we spotted a hotel way up high on a mountain and decided to try to drive up and take a look at the view. When we arrived at the "Grande Denali Lodge", John and Tony took some shots of the magnificent view! Tony got a picture of John!
We decided to have a glass of wine in the bar by a window with the same view. Alyce was enjoying the view.
In the dining room, we spotted an enormous bear. Tony had to get a picture!
The "Grande Denali Lodge" is new and said most of their patrons are from tours that arrive daily. While we were there, early in the day, not many people were around yet.

We got a picture of the river and surrounding area from the walking bridge. The walking bridge is part of a bike path that goes all the way into Denali National Park.
Tony and Izzie watch as Alyce and John give Maggie a chance to run on the bridge!

Tony was taking a walk through the RV park just before bedtime, when he spotted a mama and baby moose. He ran back for the camera and to get me! What an amazing site. The moose and baby stopped traffic as they ate leaves and even crossed the street. They are protected in the park and unafraid of people.

Questions: Is mice plural for Moose?What color are the Grizzly Bears? Grizzly is such a good name for a big bad bear. The name sounds terrifying doesn't it?
I am so glad for the protected wildlife and parkland. You are so lucky to be able to enjoy being in such rich wonders
bye bye for now
