Denali National Park








The last National Park that I got to go to in Alaska was Denali.  Some of the nearby fires made visibility of the mountains pretty slim, but we still enjoyed our time.  Gina, a friend who has been to PNG a few times, was my adventure companion on this trip and we sure packed in our days.  We saw a bunch of wildlife - both big and small, enjoying all of it, as well as did some great hikes, getting to see a lot of the park.


In all, the wildlife count for the trip was:

20 bald eagles
14 moose
10 brown bears
6 grizzly bears
3 dall's sheep
100+ caribou
3 beavers
4 owls
numerous horseshoe hares
numerous birds
1 wood frog
+ all the sea creatures from Kenai.
