Bus tour through Denali national park

Bus tour through Denali national park

Tuesday we boarded our bus for a tour through Denali. You have to use their bus because they only allow limited traffic through the park. It was mostly clear day which is unusual there. They say only 30 percent of the visitors get to see the mountain. Hence, the 30 percent club. Which we are now members of. Forgot to get the shirt. Unfortunately even thought it wasn’t cloudy there were some fires in Canada that caused smoke in this area and obscured the view. But we still saw the mountain peak. Among wildlife we saw were caribou, a grizzly bear, an eagle that swooped down right in front of our bus to grab a ground squirrel, and a wolf that walked down the road right in front of us that we followed for about a mile. Another great trip.
