Denali Park - Day 1



We drove to Denali National Park on Friday evening, staying at a campground just north of the park. On Saturday we drove to the Savage River, and walked the trail along the river. We were able to see a magnificent Dall sheep. We sat and watched him work his way from one side of the valley, across the river, and then up the mountain on the other side of the river. I did get a short video of the sheep, which I will attempt to load tomorrow, along with a slide show of some of the pictures from our Saturday hike.

The sheep was not the only one doing some climbing!

Had no idea you had a mountain goat in the family.

See, I just don't get how hunters can shoot a beautiful animal that is just walking on its merry way. I much prefer the camera shot.

Josh was climbing everything in site, trying out his new hiking boots (size 9.5!).
