Alaska is soooo big!

We were in Denali National Park for 10 glorious days. We were able to see Mt. McKinley (known also as Denali; the high one....Athabascan name) clearly for several days - which is not common, we hear. And, also not common is to see a Dahl Sheep up close, as this guy came very close to us on our Savage River trail. We no sooner crossed over the bridge when he came over the hill and down the walking path! The Dahl Sheep are of great significance to Denali National Park - they are the reason why the millions of acreage were set aside for the National Park! Denali is the highest peak on the North American continent - second only by Mt. Logan, located not too far away in SW Yukon, Canada. No, we did not even think about climbing the mountain....but we did extend our stay at Riley Creek Campground for a few more days! A bit of advice for those who wish to travel (via RV) to Alaksa - consider more than a 3 month round trip - we'd do it again for a 5 month trip (so what if it snows!;-) And....try to reserve a campground further into Denali NP - you'll see more wildlife.
