Kantishna Experience

Saturday I went on "The Kantishna Experience" tour in the park. It was the best day we have had all summer. The sun was warm and seemed to be shining just for our tour. This picture is of Denali or as people from the lower 48 call it Mt.Mckinley. It is the white cloud looking thing behind the mountains upfront. It is always so beautiful when it peeks out on the horizon like that.

This is a baby great horned owl. It's parents were out hunting with the other baby.

We got to see some caribou really close to our bus.

Probably one of my most favorite spots in Denali is the Polychrome pass. You at the top of a mountain down to a beautiful valley. You are so high up and the road is really treacherous. it is worth the trip when you see the amazing view.

This is one of my favorite pictures. It is a Dall Sheep eating some grub. I should send it to a magazine.

This Grizzly struted right past our bus. He was really huge!!!

I love this picture! It is so cool to see people standing there looking at the mountain. You can totally see how big Denali is in this photo.

I just love taking pics of Denali! The amazing thing is the clouds only parted for about 1 hour and then you couldn't see it the rest of the day.

This is one of my other favorite pictures. You can't see it well, but the ground squirrel is looking at Denali.

This is Reflection Pond. It is such a beautiful site.

This is Fannie Quigley's house. She was this amazing woman who forged a life on her own in the mining town, Kantishna. Kantishna is way in the middle of nowhere. It is amazing to have seen this small little piece of history.

This is the site of some of Fannie's mine.

This grizzley was munching on some grub!

This was a coyote...I didn't even know we had them here!

This is just a random picture of scenery that i liked.

A really pretty stream.

A Bull Moose munching on grub. (The animals are hungry!!!)
