Alaska Trip Day 14

We were up bright & early today to take the Tundra Wilderness Tour through Denali National Park between Fairbanks & Anchorage. It was rainy most of the day and didn’t get to see McKinley Mtn, the highest mountain in north America but we did see grizzly bears, caribou, dall sheep, ptarmigan, eagle, ravens, magpies, and artic hare. It was an eight hour bus tour because the road is mostly one lane gravel hairpin mountain turns, again no guardrails and they don’t allow the public to drive their own vehicles. We left the park and drove 150 miles and are staying in a nice little camp site 40 miles north of Wasilla (Sarah Palin’s hometown).
