Today is Sunday June 5th and we are on our trip into Denali National Park. The weather is nice and sunny. The first animals that we see are these 3 Moose. A Bull, Cow and last year's Calf.

Ptarmigan, the bird that Chicken Alaska was named after.

Dahl Sheep on the road side we saw many on this trip.

Fran and Sharon, she is asking where her cookies are, she has lost them.

Enlarge this photo. and read the saying on the right.

More Dahl Sheep

This one is saying "you really wouldn't hit me, would you".

Everyone enjoyed the trip, I think they did, these 2 are sleeping.

Yes I'm there in a jacket and shorts. It snowed , rained and was windy. Wanda took hers off for the picture. HA! HA!

Wildlife at Denali Park. As you can see when we left Fairbanks it was dark and rain looking. When we arrived in Denali it was sunshine, sunshine and more sunshine. We also encountered a mommy Moose and her Twin's. Ain't they cute. Sort reminds you of your children, well maybe, some what. more later.

We all made it to the Arctic Circle. When we left Fairbanks it was in the upper 50's. At one point it was 44 with a strong wind but at the Arctic Circle it was 66 degrees. We followed the pipeline up the road and across the Yukon River. The same one in Dawson city. We encountered 2 fires, 4 Black Bears and a Moose. A lot of trucks. Not what we had expected, but; we've been there and done that so we'll mark it off the bucket list. The Dalton Hwy (Ice Road) was not as bad as the Elliott Hwy which is paved. Leaving today headed south to Denali National Park and Mt. Denali.
