Our driver narrated as we went and he was quite informed about the park. We did not see a lot of animals but the few that we did see were pretty much off in the distance requiring a good set of binoculars and some sharp eyes. We saw a few caribou, a fox, a coyote, some gulls, a pica, some Dall sheep and a bear.
It was a beautiful sunny warm day and the best part was that we saw Mt. McKinley clear and free of any clouds. This is a rarity. One of the drivers said that in his six and a half years driving it is the clearest he has ever seen. It is a majestic mountain.
Tonight we will eat, drink, relax, and get ready to head back to Steve and Mabel's tomorrow. We turn in our motor home tomorrow afternoon, then take our Bed and Breakfast host out for dinner. Saturday is our last day here and we will go the the Anchorage market for shopping during the day. We leave for home Saturday night.
We are all wishing we could see the Northern Lights but not happening in the summer with the midnight sun. We may have to come back in the fall or winter, or just find some pictures of them.
