Denali National Park 08-28-10

I now understand why people come to Alaska.  We went to Denali National Park early in the morning and were there on the final days of their fall display.  It was a spectacular landscape. The view was incomparable to others that I have seen (although Ron said that Yellowstone was close).  The enormity of the park is 6.2 millon acres.  If you walk 1,000 acres a day it would take you 16 years to walk the park.  We did not see any bears or moose yet.  We saw caribou (reindeer) and Dall sheep in the distance.  This is a picture we took but you cannot even get a clear idea of the colors....will write more later.  We are on our way to Mount McKinley. Due to the weather, we will probably not get a good look at it because it is rainy and overcast but, hopefully, we will tomorrow.
