Seeing animals in Denali

If you want to see the animals in Denali National Park, you have to take a bus on the Park Highway.  The 92 mile road is closed to cars after mile 15.  We took the bus out to mile 48 to start a hike with a ranger (more asbout that in a later blog posting).  Along the way, we saw a mother bear and two cubs, a cow moose and some Dall Sheep.  Later, we drove out to mile 15 and spotted a pair of antlers of a caribou sticking out of the brush.  It looked like he was hiding from all the tourists. 

  See if you can spot the antlers!

Here is the female moose we saw from the bus. 

This herd of 6-8 Dall Sheep was right in the road so our bus driver had to wait for them to wander away.
