The last 3 photos in this set were taken from the road side while driving in the park in the area where you can drive. We also did some hiking yet only saw a few birds during our hikes and mostly fleeing glimpses of them yet I took numerous landscapes during our hikes and drives. I've already posted some of the landscapes and will post one of Mt. Fairweather (Denali). Only about 30% of visitors to the park get to see Mt. Denali so we are among the lucky ones. We also saw it from 160 miles away while driving along the 20 Mile River. I should have stopped for a photo yet I was in get there mode. One special sighting was of a Grizzly and her cub walking in the middle of the road. I took a photo of this through the National Park Shuttle Buss windshield with some obstructions of others on the buss. I present that photo in black and white as I could not get the color even close. Except for the Moose images, all the others are taken through open windows on the bus. The moose images are taken from the side of the road. The last moose image is of the moose as it started to react to the small crowd photographing it. As it's ear went up I ran back had put a car between me and the moose and warned the others to move yet they looked at me as if I were crazy. I got in the car and drove off, I did not want to see what would happen or stress the moose further.
Comments and suggestions welcome,
