We started with a moose, several Dall Sheep, three Caribou, and a Grizzly with two cubs. I guess it is possible to see animals up close, but we did not.
We rode 66 miles into the park......and back. More fun going than returning. It was 42 degrees where we had lunch and turned around. We were all disappointed that we did NOT see Denali (Mt McKinnley). Apparently, only about 25 percent of visitors actually get to see it.
When we returned to our RV Park, we were met by the young man who was walking Sophie and several dogs with our group while we were gone. He told us of the excitement in our park this morning. A Black Bear, from the mountain behind us, wandered into our park and had to be shot. Never know when you will see them, usually when you least expect it.
Doing a Dinner Theatre tomorrow evening. Maybe I can see it up close!
It's a Shame you didn't get to see Denali. We saw it several times both from in the park and at Talkeetna. But the best view was when we flew up to and above the mountain to celebrate my 50th birthday. I got to copilot since it was my birthday and my job was to push in the oxygen button when we landed.
