Denali is the only national park patrolled by sled dogs, snowmobiles disturb wildlife; Home of highest peak in North America, Mt. McKinley at 20,320 ft, just short of 4 miles high; Over 6 million acres; Terrain ~ mountains, tundra, valleys and lakes; Wildlife ~ grizzly bears, moose, caribou, Dall sheep, wolves, foxes, golden eagles, loons, wolverines, marmots, pikas, small mammals and birds but NO reptiles.
We went by tour bus 33 miles into the northern edge of the park. Dall sheep, mountain goat, state bird the Willow Ptarmigan (pronounced Tarmigan), huge porcupine, hare, caribou and a Moose right outside out window in the bushes!
Just a couple of the pictures here ...
Much to much to describe and tell in this blog about this park and all we saw and did. My personal scrapbook/journal has a lot more. I'll leave with a picture of a stained glass window inside the Denali Visitors Center
