More at Denali -- yesterday, 7/19 (part 3)

One last shot of Fannie at PolyChrome -- or was this the Ranger Station at Toklat River?

WOW.... finally saw a bear at Denali --- in the river, crossing and sniffing the air (for food or strangers?).
Don tries on a set of Carribou horns -- just about fits.



This last shot is (yet, another?) Carribou -- off in the distance.

All told, we saw well over 30 snow-shoe hares, a couple dozen Ptarmagins (state bird), two sets of Dall sheep (group of 4, another group of 3), 2 grizzly bears (the local blonde bimbos who really do have more fun!), over 20 Carribou, and, just as we were returning from the last stop, we saw what follows...

  1. hey.......I'm offended by the blonde bimbo comment!!!!! NOT all blondes are bimbos!!!!!!!! But blondes DO know how to have fun :)
    Really enjoying all your pics, especially the wildlife. We enjoyed seeing that in Glacier too a couple yrs ago. The close up of the mama moose & her 2 babies is fantastic! Hope she didn't eyeball you like the mama moose in Glacier did to us. She got tired of us hanging around and started to approach us staring us down so we quietly backed away as quickly as we could!
