The Great Alaskan Adventure - Day 4

July 13, 2013- Denali National Park

Today we took a tour of Denali National Park.   You can only go into the park on a tour bus, no public vehicles are allowed.  There is one road in the park and it is 92 miles long and we did the WHOLE thing - it took 11 hours on a school bus on a dirt road, what an adventure!  We saw a lot of animals! Bears, moose, caribou and sheep.  And amazing views of Denali! My camera doesn't zoom that well- so my pics aren't the best.  It is a beautiful park and an amazing experience.

Start of our day!

The end of our day :)


I saw this sign at the visitors center and found the statistics interesting - check it out: 

After our long day we headed into town and had dinner at Prospectors Pizza - it was delicious!  Smoked salmon, capers, onions and dill cream cheese on a pizza - yum!


And of course, Andy made a friend!
