Denali in the fall. Glorious fall colors. Bears everywhere. And new bridges!

We spent a week at Denali, camped at the Teklanika campground, and biking the park road like we always do. This trip was amazing. The fall colors on the tundra were vibrant, there were bears everywhere, and finally, after a very long five years, we got to cross the new bridge at Pretty Rocks and access the western part of the park. It was glorious.

As usual, way too any pictures, but come along for one of the best trips we’ve had to Denali. Best on a laptop so you can see the bigger picture. Click on a thumbnail and then start scrolling. Cursor over the picture and the captions will tell the story.

Kenai Fjords National Park cruise.

We booked a last minute 7.5 hour Kenai Fjords cruise with Major Marine out of Seward, AK. this past Sunday. It’s been years since we’ve done the trip out to Holgate and Aialik glaciers. Incredible landscapes, lots of wildlife, and glaciers! It’s late in the season so we didn’t see any Humpback whales on this trip, but we did see transient Orca’s and a very special rare visit from two Fin whales, the second largest animal on the planet. Come along for the ride. Way too many pictures as usual. Best viewed on a big screen.
