:: ALASKA ::

There's a bus in there... precariously coming around the curve. This area was about the time our Denali tour guide/driver said "it's not a matter of IF a rockslide will close this one road but WHEN"... Unfortunately Denali had mudslides this summer that closed areas of the one, unpaved road and stranded visitors for awhile

I could've stood on that train's viewing platform all day to catch these views

View from the train from Denali to Anchorage - gorgeous views from every vantage. Unfortunately the Denali wildfires along the route were still burning; thankfully no loss of life As of mid-August, Alaska had 659 wildfires for the year that burned about 2.5 million acres, making 2019 among the biggest fire seasons on record for the state https://www.afar.com/magazine/alaska-wildfires-2019

Mama Bear

and she brought the kids with her - adorable little guys. We were the last bus to enter and leave the Park that day; this shot was ~8PM when there was still daylight

Highlight of the day-Mama Grizzly was very close to our bus

that light...
