Denali Park day 2

To-day being Fri 13^th we have been very lucky in seeing wildlife here in Denali, wasn’t able to see the top of Mount Mckinley, hopefully to-morrow as we go along the highway there are 2 or 3 pullouts that people have been successful seeing it.

To-day we spotted a moose with a tracking collar, then down the road some caribou a little further some dall sheep, a  grizzly with a cub.  It was hard to see her but on our way back we saw her again quite clearly, she was eating her kill a moose calf.  Also on our way back a grizzly came walking down the middle of the road toward the bus and just passed beside us not a care in the world. 

We took a bus tour 66 miles into the park the scenery was spectacular.

To-day the count was 1 moose, 2 bears and a cub, 18 Dall sheep, 20 caribou, lots of ground squirrels, a long tail jaegar bird and also the Alaska state bird a tarmagin.  Not bad for 1 day. I will try and post some pictures but I don’t have a strong wifi here
