Denali Grizzly Bears


We saw 10 different grizzly bears during our day in Denali, none cuter than mama and her twins.









How close were the bears? One sauntered across the road directly in front of our bus. This mama bear was not crazy about our presence, so when we were in line for the restrooms she came up out of the riverbeds and we were all herded back onto the bus. This is her world, we just live in it.








We also saw Dall Sheep, caribou, marmots moose and a variety of other critters.








This squirrel is on the lookout in front of Alaska Fireweed. It is said that when the top of the fireweed finished blooming it is 6 weeks to winter.
