Today was another early day. We got up at 4:00 am so we would have time to eat breakfast before our 6:10 am tour. We had breakfast at the buffet here at the lodge and it was one of the best buffets we have had so far.
Our tour started on time this morning. It was the Tundra Wilderness Tour. It lasted about 8 hours and went 67 miles into Denali Park. Our guide was really good with lots of good information. We saw lots of wildlife. Carribou, Dall Sheep, Moose Calf and most exciting of all 4 grizzly bears. One of them was right on the side of the road on our side of the bus and Krista got some really good pictures of them. I will try to post them later.
The weather was amazing today. The skies were clear and it got quite warm outside. We got to see Mt McKinley. They said only about 10% of the people that visit the park get to see it because a lot of times it is covered up by the clouds. We got wonderful pictures of it also.
I have been resting since we got back to the lodge but it will soon be time to go get our jeep that we rented so we can go see what else is out there. We are supposed to be picked up at 5:45 pm and it is for 4 hours so I probably won't get a chance to post again from Denali.
Tomorrow morning at 7:30 am Krista is going River Rafting. I am sitting this one out. I am sure she will have fun.
We are supposed to get on the train tomorrow at noon for an 8 hour ride into Anchorage. We will be meeting up with Chase and Lauren in Anchorage.
Saturday night will be the last night until we get on the cruise ship and I am so ready to be on the ship so I can rest up.
