| Mt. McKinley |
There was a bus from Denali Park ready for us at 6 AM. Had a good driver/guide through Denali. The day was clear and sunny again so we had spectacular views of Mt. McKinley most of the morning. The bus took us all the way to Kantishna, 90 miles one way. There we had a buffet lunch, panned for gold to no avail, walked around the lodge area, and had a drink. Very nice resort area. Along the way we saw several grizzly bears at a distance, some caribou, white mountain Dall sheep, a huge fox, a snowshoe rabbit, ptarmigan birds, and ground squirrels. We also saw a moose walking along the railroad tracks going to Denali. Got back to the park about 7:30 PM. Spencer and Madi, our tail gunner’s, arrived from Tok about 8:30 PM and we welcomed them. They had problems w/their RV and had to get them fixed before they drove anywhere.
Took tons of pictures of Mt. McKinley as it was so spectacular.
From what people said, it is rare to be able to see
the mountain -usually the clouds cover it up.
