Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska

Here we are, our furthest destination. What a long drive, five days from Kamloops, BC. Worth every mile-kilometer we drove. We managed to get a nice campsite at the Riley Campground inside the Park and got on the park bus the next day. A six hour, 53 miles ride on a bus up to the Toklat River turn-around. Private vehicles are only allowed the first 13 miles into the park. The scenery and wilderness were magnificent. We saw Caribou and Dall Sheep, but to our disappointment no moose!! But the views made up for that. The Polychrome Mountain Pass was more then a bit scary for me. Very narrow road with almost vertical drops without guard rails. Two big busses passing was a tricky maneuver. Mount McKinley, the highest mountain in the North American Continent eluded us on the first day, but lucky enough, the next morning before we went on our way the sun came out and we had a beautiful view of this snow capped 20,340 ft beauty.
