DENALI NATIONAL PARK


Denali Park tours are on buses. Private cars not allowed. We had a light rain most of the day. There was not alot to see. These Bighorns were the only nearby animals, and the moose was at roadside by the park entrance. Everything else that the driver pointed out were binocular objects.


Here is another moose. These big animals must eat alot so they stay away from the high mountain.
The day before our bus tour of the park, I got this shot from the highway about 100 miles south. During our bus tour, the mountain was not visible. The ranger said that if you measure from the surrounding plain, this mountain is taller that Everest. (I have heard separately that this type of measure would make Maui tallest in the world because you measure from the ocean floor.)
