A Wonderful Experience in Denali


We have had a fantastic few days in Denali Park and are looking forward to a few more. The 29th we drive in to the Teklanika campground on the Park road.

Below are some images we have obtained in the Park. Some from the bus ride to the end of the Park road, others from publicly accessible locations in the Park. The one of the barista was at the Wilderness Access Center. Excellent Mocha coffee!

We were fortunate enough to be among the 30% of the Park visitors to get to view both peaks of Mt. McKinley which is called Denali by the natives.

We hope you enjoy our images and in a few months when we get back home we will place selected images on our photo site, http://www.OzarksPhotos.com

Long bus ride on the Park road


Yesterday we rode one of the park buses all the way to the end of the Park road, Kantishna. 12 hours of bus, not many stops although we did stop at times to view wildlife.

Below are just a few of the wildlife we were able to view during the trip.
