Denali National Park

Avalanche Creek - on day 1 in Denali we drove back the 15 miles that you are allowed to and this is the turn around spot. Quite beautiful and the dogs got out to make friends in the parking lot with everyone except this one gull who kept swooping down on them. Kenai and Mickie were really watching this bird!

More pretty mountains and a great day to take pictures.

Meandering stream along the mountains.

The start of one of the hikes back into the bush. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed so we had a good look and turned around.

Day 2 in Denali National Park:

A very pretty mountain stream on our way back to Toklat in the park.

As always I am intriqued by the mountains and can't resist all the different pictures.

What else to say but WOW - the beautiful goldlen eagle swooped by our bus and was just the most spectacular sight of our trip. Wing spans on these eagles average 7 feet. We were so lucky to be able to watch it soar over the park.

This poor caribou was so disturbed by the bugs that it ran right down the road in front of our bus and then off into the bush.

See that speck in the middle of the picture - that's a grizzly mom and her year old cub was somewhere behind her. We were lucky to be able to watch her and the cub for quite awhile.
