Denali Revisited

After leaving Seward, I drove back to Anchorage to pick up Dad (from West Virginia) and my brother Greg (from Hawaii), who were visiting me for a week. The next day, we drove north to Denali, but on the way, stopped on a whim to fish a place called Montana Creek. It was great fishing, and we managed to bring home 6 large salmon. We continued the drive late in the afternoon, stayed overnight near Denali, and arrived the next morning to catch a bus tour 50 miles into Denali Park.

The bus tour lasted 8 hrs, but we saw moose, cariboo, sheep, and a momma grizzly with 3 cubs. Not to mention incredible scenery all along the way. Here are the pics:
