Anyone Have an Umbrella? [Explore]

I cannot recommend the full-day Denali bus tour enough. There is only one road in Denali National Park. There are no privately owned vehicles allowed past the 15 mile point, and the park operates two bus tours that go further. On our bus tour - the Kantishna Experience - we were able to see several grizzlies. At least 8 of which were no more than 50 yards away.

 

It rained all day, which made viewing Denali all-but impossible, but seeing all of this wildlife was more than worth the trip. This yearling was with a sibling and their mama foraging for berries. By mid-August, these bears can think of nothing else. They need to gain weight in advance of the winter months when they will be hibernating. They were not disturbed by the diesel bus or the shutters clicking away near by...but this guy did seem to be having enough of the cold rain.

 

Congrats on Explore!
