Denali




We sat in the last row of the bus😬.  Was it bumpy ?  Was it dusty and smoky from fires?  Was it totally worth it?   YES!

We saw Big horn sheep and caribou from afar. We saw willow ptarmigan.   We freaking saw Denali!!  Such a rarity 



I’ve been here twice 1996 and 2025 and seen it both times.  So lucky!!🍀 

Hiked on our way out at Savage River.  


Me momentarily understanding how danged lucky I am!!




New birds for me today: willow ptarmigan and spruce and grouse
