Denali National Park

Alaska lived up to its reputation today.  We spent a full day in Denali National Park in a blizzard!  However, we have no complaints.  We were able to see some spectacular scenery (after cleaning the mud off the bus windows) though Mt McKinley/Denali was invisible in the snow.  And I did close my eyes as the bus went around Soars-over-the Edge-like-an-Eagle Memorial Corner.  :-)   We were able to watch a 300 lb female grizzly bear forage on the side of the road and some Dall sheep graze on the tundra.  We also saw moose - two bulls, and a mother and calf - and caribou, as well as several Backpackus Americanus.  A great day.
