Denali Wilderness Park.

Upon reaching Denali around 1pm, we were transferred to our lodge, then went on a 7 hour trip into the depths of Denali,(Remember the 21+ hours of sunshine).This excursion was simply awesome, we saw bull moose, caribou and two lots of brown (grizzly) bear - one with two cubs and another with three cubs which is quite unusual. As it is still early Spring, the snow is still very prolific throughout this area. Apparently they had 24 feet of snow around here this last winter.
Dinner was combined with a musical show or Cabin Nite as it is caled, held in a large log cabin near to our lodge. We are still battling with the "midnight sun". Walking back from the show to our lodge at 11:30pm in absolute broad daylight is a strange sensation - fortunately there are good blackout drapes in our rooms.
Friday morning, free time till noon, so time for a walk around before re-boarding the McKinley Explorer for another exciting day.
