Alaska!!




Wow! I just keep saying it over and over again. What an amazing place. The mountains are gorgeous and we've seen lots and lots of wildlife.

Arrived in Anchorage at 11 p.m. Wednesday night, with the sun still pretty high in the sky. Shuttle took us to the hotel and we crashed. Picked up the rental car the next morning from GoNorth Rentals. Great SUV at great price.

We headed first to Walmart and the grocery store to load up on food for the camping trip. Got to Denali about 6:30 p.m. Signed up to drive in to Teklanika and was surprised to see the sky had cleared and we could actually see Mount McKinley. Double wow. Really gorgeous.

Took a bus tour the next day, saw grizzlies, wolves, moose, caribou, ptarmigans and Dall sheep.

Loading a couple of photos
