Tundra Wilderness Tour

Another extraordinary day!  We traveled by bus to mile 62 within the Denali National Park.  We had many sightings of grizzly bears (males, females and cubs), caribou, dall sheep, ravens, golden eagles, the Alaskan state bird (don't recall the name), other birds, the north face of McKinley and other amazing views.  We were all quite impressed with the measures taken to preserve this great wilderness.  It truly is a great treasure.

At the end of the tour we received a nice reward of $75. worth of vouchers due to the delayed departure this morning, with which we treated ourselves to a great meal.

Nice day all around...enjoy the pics friends.  Tomorrow we get on the train to head south to Whittier to meet the ship and begin the cruise segment of our adventure.
