Well folks, we had a fun filled, but very long day today. We started about 7:30 AM and didn't finish until almost 10:00 PM. As you can guess, we're exhausted. We started the day on a zipline and ropes bridge course. After a rather bumpy ride on a four-wheeler, we spent about an hour and a half up in the trees zipping and climbing. It was amazing. After that, we did a tour of Denali Park where we saw a lot of wildlife as well as the grand lady, Mount Denali, again. Finally, we finished the night in an Alaskan Prospector themed dinner theater. Both the food and the show was a treat.
This was our ride to the zip and rope bridge course. Just like the four wheelers, we were completely covered in dust after the ride.
The start of the zip line course. We had to walk up the bridges and ladders to get to the first zipline.
Here I am ready tackle the next obstacle on the course.
And here's the next obstacle on the course. That thing really shakes and swings a lot when you walk across it. Oh yeah, check out that plane contrail in the top right of the picture. It kinda looks like a smoke coming out of the top of the mountain to form the clouds.

The frozen tundra in Denali Valley
Here we are posing in front of the Teklaneka River in Denali Park. We saw a bear cub nursing on a mama bear on the far side of the river. Unfortunately, it was a bit too far away to get a good picture.
Squirrel!!

Some sheep wandering the hillsides in Denali Park.

We saw a couple of moose in the park as well. The second one was nice enough to do a vogue profile pose for us.

And we saw some caribou as well. The poor gal on the right fell behind the crowd and appears to be calling out for them to wait up for her.
Denali is somewhere behind us in the super bright white clouds.
Looking across the valley towards Denali. As usual, she's hidden behind the clouds.
There she is. Denali peeking out from behind the clouds again.
Here's a wider view of Denali peeking through the clouds. This gives you a sense of how much it towers over the other mountains.
