Were on a tour in the Denali Park.  You can't drive in.  It's a seventy mile tour bus in.  Takes eight hours.  We saw this mother bear and her yearling.  We saw two bear chasing each other across a hill.  Saw a number of other bears. 

We ran into fifteen Doll Sheep.  Mostly males.  One herd was up on the side of a very steep hill.  They stop and let you take pictures out the windows and you can't talk or make any noise.  On most animals they pass a little way past them and then stop.  They don't want the animals to become accustomed to humans.  Kinda hard to get good pictures that way but its the only way to see the park. 

This old boy said, Take your best shot.  There were a lot of moose in the park.  We Saw Bear, Moose, Caribou, Doll Sheep, and Eagles and other small animals and birds.    Eagles that flew with in feet of the bus but was to fast to get a picture.  They flew several times right past the windows.  

 

We did not get to see Mt McKinley today.  Clouds down to low.  It is seen less than twenty percent of the time.  You will never know how big Alaska, and Canada is till you have traveled even a small part of it.  In the seventy miles into the park out of six million square miles of park.  Everything we saw was large scale.  Beautiful beyond discription and they tell us every day the park is different.  The coast and the outer islands off the bays and seeing the ocean and even though our boat was over a hundred foot long it bobed like a cork even though the sea was fairly mild.  They still do the tours even with swells twenty to thirty foot if there far enough apart. 

We've spent a lot of time sight seeing and taking side trips.  Stoping at small towns and walking the board walks.  Our next major stop will be Fairbanks to visit the Tundra and the North Pole.  Be there a week or so.
