Denali National Park! What a delight.

We are into day four at Denali.  We could not have had more lovely weather the first two days.  Of course, all good things must come to an end.  The last two days have been wet and colder.  Yet, we make sure we get out in it at least part of he day.  Yesterday was the strenuous hike I had to abandon.  Today we attended the sled dog program in the park.  They actually utilize the sled dogs in winter to transport needed items 70 miles into the park.  My pics are from our day trip on a sunny day as well as a couple of pics from rainy days.
This Mama Moose with her 2 little ones was feeding around 10 AM close to the park entrance.  
This little guy was with a group of 6 Caribou walking across the road on our bus trip.  They actually criss-crossed the road twice before we could get by.
A Grizzly Bear was strolling down the road in front of the bus in front of us.  He finally moved off to the side allowing us to pass.
Beautiful Caribou.
Not a clear pic because these Dall Sheep are grazing so high up the mountain.  The need to protect these sheep dates back recognizing Denali as a National Park.
This was the Grizzly after slowly getting off the road to allow us by.
