Denali fall colors

This national park [Denali] in Alaska has been enlarged over the years and is now divided into three units… the national park, the wilderness area, and a preserve. The animals here get big. Winters are eight months long. These are harsh conditions to say the least and precipitation is low in this subarctic zone.

We visited at the best time of the year with fall colors still visible that don’t last long.

Wildlife are feeding in preparation for the long winter. So they can be seen from the side of the road in wilderness bus tours. We took the tour deep into the park and saw a grizzly bear, a caribou with a huge rack of antlers, and a large boar (male) moose. > ourtravelsaroundtheworld.com/denali-ak-tundra-wilderness-...
