What a difference a day makes! Yesterday was quite cloudy with misty rain and a very chilly wind. Today the sun is out and we were hoping for great scenery and wildlife viewing on our 53-mile bus trip to Toklat River today. I hope we are not disappointed.

| Our 53-mile trip from Visitor Center (top right) to Tolkat River (above Eielson Visitor Center). Mt. Denali is at bottom left. |
 |
| We were very fortunate to get a view of Mt. Denali's twin peaks in the clouds above the spruce tree in the foreground. |
 |
| A closer view of Mt. Denali's twin peaks. Look closely in the clouds and you can see them! |
 |
| Blond and brown Grizzly bears. I think the brown bear is trying to make a move on the blond bear. |
 |
| There is a caribou cow and calf out there in the river bed. The cow is on the left and the calf is a tiny dot about 2.5 inches to the right of the cow. |

| Close-up of the caribou cow. |
 |
| Yes Anna, there is a Dall sheep up there. It's that little white dot in the grassy area above the brown patch of rocks. |
 |
| There are a few places where the road is one-lane with no shoulder or guard rail. |
 |
| This antler from a 14-year old moose weighed about 20 pounds. |
