Denali National Park





Saturday I spent the day taking a shuttle bus into Denali National Park. What a ride that was, I saw all kinds of wildlife. The bus driver spotted this Lynx crossing the road and it only stuck around for a few seconds and then vanished in to the woods. Once I got a good ways into the park I got off the bus and did some hiking, that was when I found this Great Horned Owl nest with a couple of owlets. After I snapped some photos of them, I started hiking down the road waiting to get on the next shuttle bus that came by. Well when all the shuttle buses are full there is only one thing that you can do, and that is keep on walking and that is just what I did, hiked 10 miles out of the park. Most of the way I followed some bear tracks, heading in the same direction that I needed to go. Needless to say I was on the lookout for the bears that made these prints, but they were never seen. It was a great day, and I have so many photos to go through.
