A very nice ending to another great trip to Denali. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1722707558021-5D2NY1Z10YO6KLZERZCO/20242547.jpg Blog - A solo trip to Denali. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1722707564692-GPHU5BMJU46SVJM43GRK/20242553.jpg Blog - A solo trip to Denali. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1722707570445-XZL5U7D1L5EY1RWMCSU7/20242559.jpg Blog - A solo trip to Denali. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1722707572812-0GSTOST9OR8FML8PFGU9/20242566.jpg Blog - A solo trip to Denali. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1722707578409-6HBMK843EEZ9MMC44WFA/20242585.jpg Blog - A solo trip to Denali. https://www.eyeonalaska.com/blog/2024/7/23/the-show-tonight monthly 0.5 2024-07-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/363ac9de-d19a-4a6b-bc8a-29a9ad93928f/20242299.jpg Blog - The show tonight. - Make it stand out click on image for full-screen. https://www.eyeonalaska.com/blog/2024/7/13/soggy-mama-bear monthly 0.5 2024-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/4ffb10db-1ded-4612-8555-a55b9caef89a/20242215.jpg Blog - Soggy Mama Bear. - Make it stand out click on image for full-screen https://www.eyeonalaska.com/blog/2024/7/11/the-show-tonight monthly 0.5 2024-07-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/28a17107-dc7f-435e-80f6-1faec7b84583/20242212.jpg Blog - The show tonight. - Make it stand out click on image for full-screen https://www.eyeonalaska.com/blog/2024/6/23/baby-bears monthly 0.5 2024-06-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1719210203728-ROR3A3K4CRG4PEYW6HXM/20242055.jpg Blog - Baby Bears! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1719210041156-CUS66YD2UWRBTEDS1R0L/20242059.jpg Blog - Baby Bears! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1719210047451-8M2CTFUJXIPUCRK0OSLV/20242048.jpg Blog - Baby Bears! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1719210054973-UA8AYG5O50I7SQLB5M20/20242064.jpg Blog - Baby Bears! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1719210061513-2YUCEMEKHW9MZXL70BGJ/20242041.jpg Blog - Baby Bears! https://www.eyeonalaska.com/blog/2024/6/18/first-baby-moose-of-the-year monthly 0.5 2024-06-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1718736954100-O70JDAXH41A0LW9DLFJA/20241951.jpg Blog - First Baby Moose of the year!

Yep, biking with bears. A very fresh pile of blueberry bear poop on the road. We have company somewhere nearby.

There are always Arctic Ground Squirrels living at the very top of Sable Pass. They’re obviously used to people stopping there for a rest and have probably been fed, so they will approach you and pose for photos in hopes of a treat. We’ve named all of them George. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1693676174430-WDJKGDK5XWVCGK8LOZOD/_0232795.jpg Blog - 10th Anniversary of BWB-Biking with Bears in Denali.

As Devany and I made our way downhill through Igloo Canyon there was a wide rainbow below us.

We can see a tour bus stopped on the road below us which always means they’re looking at something. There’s a bear right next to it. We’re going to have to wait and see what it does. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1693676214772-Q882V9Q876VVE7OB0THG/_0232826.jpg Blog - 10th Anniversary of BWB-Biking with Bears in Denali. Might as well shoot fall colors while waiting for a green shuttle bus to come from behind us so we can rack the bikes and get a ride around the bear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1693676220349-C6QG5HJ0VHT9TIA8IMK9/_0232827.jpg Blog - 10th Anniversary of BWB-Biking with Bears in Denali. The bear is still right on the shoulder of the road around the curve below us. We waiting around 40 minutes for a bus to come by that could pick us up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1693676224038-57TXOUXBE3PV3SI7M29N/_0232838.jpg Blog - 10th Anniversary of BWB-Biking with Bears in Denali. And the payoff. When a grizzly bear makes eye contact with you it’s a pretty amazing feeling. Maybe 15 yards off the road working the soapberries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1693676228981-5PRW277E2HX3N6P3NPZX/_0232841.jpg Blog - 10th Anniversary of BWB-Biking with Bears in Denali.

Later Tuesday we rode the bus with our good friend Dale who’s a shuttle bus driver in Denali. We spotted this huge bull moose in Igloo Canyon. It’s the biggest moose I’ve ever seen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1693676247176-JVUL3LKAMO3JKXDBKGAP/_0232891.jpg Blog - 10th Anniversary of BWB-Biking with Bears in Denali. Wednesday morning was wet and windy, so I headed off on my own.

Just before Tattler creek a driver coming towards me stopped and warned me about a bear above the road. I saw a tour bus stop at the bottom of the Igloo Ramp and sure enough, there’s a bear right above the road. The people on this bus got a treat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1693676262688-3VNQVLE06HFMF2Z7L693/_0232919.jpg Blog - 10th Anniversary of BWB-Biking with Bears in Denali.

He stayed on the road all the way to the top of the ramp.

A bear had killed a moose calf right next to the road and had been on the kill for a couple of days. Not a situation we want to find. We ended up not having to wait very long until a shuttle bus with an empty bike rack picked us up and gave us a ride to the top of Sable Pass. No sign of a bear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1686519633764-ZSXE9V782QTBVW8L66Y2/_0232377.jpg Blog - Denali, June 2023.

I had just enough time to grab my camera off the bike and get 3 shots, only one of which is halfway decent. At least it’s good enough to prove we weren’t hallucinating. What an amazing encounter with this extremely elusive animal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1662247507615-939RNGO7AY3V01PRIEEL/_0221666.jpg Blog - OMG, we hit the Denali Jackpot. Fall colors in Igloo Canyon as we pedaled back to the campground. Going to be very hard to top this first day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1662247509095-C4U4U8DW97HY41ZHE355/_0221669.jpg Blog - OMG, we hit the Denali Jackpot. Beginning of day two heading back up through Igloo Forest early in the morning. A spruce grouse greeted us on the side of the road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1662247528425-7F768SY3Q9KORISP34E6/_0221682.jpg Blog - OMG, we hit the Denali Jackpot. As I biked down Sable Pass I saw a truck stopped just below me on a corner watching a bear just above the road. I stopped and waited until the bear made his way up and over the ridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1662247537405-THY13HR2H3B881IB1EN9/_0221692.jpg Blog - OMG, we hit the Denali Jackpot. We hit terrible head winds and freezing cold rain from the top of Sable Pass heading down towards the East Fork bridge. When you have to pedal hard going downhill you know it’s nasty. We finally gave made it back to the summit of Sable Pass and headed back downhill through Igloo Canyon with a blazing fast tailwind! The trees and colors just keep getting better and better. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1662247548533-4LX22IICADUMXXVC9Z3L/_0221694.jpg Blog - OMG, we hit the Denali Jackpot. Very near the Teklanika rest area I spotting a bear out on a river bar. I’ve never seen a “splooting” bear before :) That’s what it’s called when animals lay on their bellies with all four legs splayed out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1662247557692-I4MTAZ70WBGA4I92CZNY/_0221702.jpg Blog - OMG, we hit the Denali Jackpot. I watched him for an hour and a half. This was the most movement ;) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1662247558799-P9HF1NPREWQDMI9JOP0I/_0221713.jpg Blog - OMG, we hit the Denali Jackpot. And then this little guy showed up. A teeny-tiny Ermine. He was impossible to get a good shot of, constantly darting around. I missed it jumping off the side of the road and catching a vole. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1662247572765-EDBSZZ16AY5E05WSC9UO/_0221754.jpg Blog - OMG, we hit the Denali Jackpot. Color across the Teklanika River as I waited for the bear to maybe do something. That’s why we love using the bikes. I could sit there for as long as I wanted while the 6-8 buses that stopped by only stayed for 10 minutes at the most. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1662247584894-YLNZ7IQU92ME9Y0PQBX8/_0221781.jpg Blog - OMG, we hit the Denali Jackpot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1662247591665-5RH2EMYNKDH49DJE190I/_0221795.jpg Blog - OMG, we hit the Denali Jackpot. I headed down to the rest area to say hi to a couple of the drivers we’ve become friends with. Bear had a drink as I was getting back on the bike. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1662247610140-AP6W2ASGOMWX6JG2X7ZW/_0221802.jpg Blog - OMG, we hit the Denali Jackpot. Just a couple of minutes later at the rest area viewing platform as we were talking the bear crossed the river and headed in our direction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1662247613758-M6EWDQGTJ3AVP0QKQ87D/_0221809.jpg Blog - OMG, we hit the Denali Jackpot.

Okay, time to get out of here right now. He came up right below the viewing platform. The drivers got all their people back on the buses to keep them safe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1662247634226-GKSP5USWF3MIOKUMS1J9/_0221821.jpg Blog - OMG, we hit the Denali Jackpot. My last shot before heading to the buses. Look at the claws on this bear! The bear didn’t come up to where we were all waiting, but instead made his way around the restrooms and crossed the road. What an encounter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1662247656406-1RVPND4XB9O9MHRS9AA6/_0221838.jpg Blog - OMG, we hit the Denali Jackpot. Day three biking at the top of Sable Pass. We had reports of a wolf sighting so sat for more than an hour hoping we might get to see it, but not our luck today. Instead we kept an eye on this bear that made his way across the slope a good distance above us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1662247650362-RUP972DUB13DKYZWPP5M/_0221842.jpg Blog - OMG, we hit the Denali Jackpot.

He kept coming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1654921759112-PRUGMJ5Y73EC1ZE77RAZ/_0221042.jpg Blog - Biking with Bears. Denali, June 2022 He kept right on coming to the last bus, so we backed off another 100 yards to see what he’d do. Eventually, one of the buses came by and told us he had finally gone down into Igloo Creek. We saw him go up the side of the hill, so were able to keep going. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1654921765428-6XLUS88GI1LEZSTSKHHR/_0221048.jpg Blog - Biking with Bears.

Denali, June 2022 The road used to run straight over to the other side of this gully. All that grey gravel in the gully is the stuff they dumped on every night last year trying to keep the road open and safe. They finally had to give up in August. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1654921842449-DGZ8B8BCR3DX6GPT30D7/_0221095.jpg Blog - Biking with Bears.

Denali, June 2022 Our second morning we biked back up to the top of Sable Pass and started heading towards the East Fork River. Denali was waiting to greet us. Devany stayed at the top of the pass for a rest, while I kept going. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1654921865309-DI8NN4GRZ9PKD9FY1JQZ/_0221133.jpg Blog - Biking with Bears. Denali, June 2022 Not 10 minutes after talking with one of our bus driver friends, I was heading downhill and came around a blind corner to find this. Way too close. I yelled “Hey Bear!” and he looked up, saw me, and kept right on eating the new grass on the side of the road. Good Bear! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1654921898098-OHETQTIS2K7K7D6AVXVX/_0221144.jpg Blog - Biking with Bears.

Denali, June 2022 I walked the bike around the corner and when I was out of his sight, pedaled back up the road to warn another couple of bikers that had been sitting on the side of the road resting. We could see tour buses stopping for the bear and this went on for almost 30 minutes. Finally, a bus came uphill and told us the bear had moved off the road. As I was talking with another bus driver friend the bear had moved along the creek right below us! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1654921915884-KC9ZUWF5Z8RNZVR1DSSE/_0221178.jpg Blog - Biking with Bears.

Denali is out as we drive into the park. The view from Primrose. We probably missed the absolute peak fall colors by a week, but it’s still gorgeous. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1631994995010-BO8IVKGIQHDAK7UQR32J/_0212890.jpg Blog - Late Fall in Denali.

My friend Todd Paris, who is an incredible photographer that I worked with in Fairbanks 36 years ago met us at the Teklanika campground. He and I biked back to Primrose to see what the sunset would look like on Denali. This is the late Camper Bus heading towards the park entrance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1631995009850-0D4OFCMM9OMOZRKG533A/_0212928.jpg Blog - Late Fall in Denali.

Wednesday morning Devany and I headed up Igloo Canyon into a nasty headwind. The colors were wonderful, but it was cold! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1631995039046-1ZV5W01GUGJ34DVC6S5O/_0212939.jpg Blog - Late Fall in Denali.

We made it about a mile past the top of Sable Pass, but the headwind has kicked our butts, so we headed back towards the campground. The only critter we saw in Sable was this curious ground squirrel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1631995059096-PA4PS7326TYEUA20PXL8/_0212967.jpg Blog - Late Fall in Denali. Got all excited in Igloo Canyon on the way down. We thought we spotted the first wolverine we had ever seen in the park. Nope, turns out it was just a huge porcupine. He was really trucking across the slope. Never seen one move that fast before. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1631995060514-L8RR63WLGV6S3PXGDJ3M/_0212969.jpg Blog - Late Fall in Denali. Thursday morning we headed back up through Igloo Forest. There were Spruce Grouse all along the road as we pedaled our way back to Sable Pass and then the East Fork River bridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1631995078859-HGSC5KEK86NOWOUYLKT0/_0212976.jpg Blog - Late Fall in Denali.

Good sized bull moose stepped up onto the road right in front of us at Tattler Creek. He’s obviously had a very rough rutting season, only one antler, and his back looks all beat up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1631995106075-YGFMYWUC29TUCTAM7S5W/_0213002.jpg Blog - Late Fall in Denali. The passengers on this Tundra Wilderness Tours bus got a nice look at the moose as it headed off the road and back into the creek bottom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1631995133794-ZCBIK3RJBTYXROQHVCK6/_0213018.jpg Blog - Late Fall in Denali.

We rode down to the East Fork Bridge. The road is closed at Polychrome/Pretty Rocks because of the slide and sadly, will most likely be closed again all next year, cutting off access to a huge part of the park. We sure hope they come up with a solution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1631995151627-76DMSS4JPEKCOPEVYGS7/_0213024.jpg Blog - Late Fall in Denali.

The only bear we saw on the entire trip as we pedaled back up Sable Pass. He was digging like crazy for a ground squirrel, but he gave up and headed further away from the road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1631995171159-19BXZH9166WTZIC1YI38/_0213051.jpg Blog - Late Fall in Denali.

On Monday driving into the Teklanika campground, we spotted this Canada Lynx sitting just above the road in Primrose. It’s the first one we’ve seen in 12 years inside the park. A magical moment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1630352671673-LPYL8I0VBZ91GRD3PA6F/_0212600.jpg Blog - A crazy trip to Denali.

We were able to put the bikes on a late bus and headed up to the top of Sable Pass for our first ride of the trip. We spotted this sow bear and 2 cubs right near the summit of the pass. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1630352693194-FG1DWTIRMWEKE2CTCU0N/_0212607.jpg Blog - A crazy trip to Denali.

We had reserved seats for us and the bikes on the first bus Tuesday morning that picked us up at the Teklanika campground. We found out the road was closed at the East Fork River bridge because of worsening landslides up at Polychrome Pass and Pretty rocks, so we got off again early at the top of Sable Pass and headed downhill towards East Fork. The Fall colors are really starting to blossom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1630353072518-LIZP296KFTWTJK9R2RIH/20214175.jpg Blog - A crazy trip to Denali.

The Park Road headed uphill from the East Fork bridge towards Polychrome Pass and Pretty Rocks. We were able to make it to the slide area and had a nice talk with a couple of geologists who were working there. We crossed the slide area and made it past Marmot rock on the other side of Polychrome Pass, then turned around and headed back to the Tek campground. We were sad we couldn’t make it all the way out to Eielson Visitor Center, but still a good first full day in the park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1630352804462-RY9EE0KTGH6SINF4QQZ9/_0212666.jpg Blog - A crazy trip to Denali.

We were sitting at the top of Sable Pass taking a break when one of our bus driver friends warned us about this bear that was heading our way. We kept a close eye on it, but he/she stayed up on the slope above us about 100 yards away and kept on going. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1630352851806-1G8FKE2CC004OD04MMJG/_0212681.jpg Blog - A crazy trip to Denali.

Fireweed patches are still strong in some places, completely gone in others. We rode to the East Fork bridge again and headed home as it started to rain. Things are going to change overnight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1630353084919-SKQ6MXVEGX6PSZM4K90T/20214184.jpg Blog - A crazy trip to Denali. This is what we woke up to on Thursday morning! It’s not the first time we’ve had snow in the park at this same time of year on previous trips. There aren’t going to be any shuttle buses running this morning, so we’re off on the bikes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1630354827069-937GVIZANJA34FP9WDW4/20214191.jpg Blog - A crazy trip to Denali.

It starts snowing quite heavily as we make our way up Igloo Canyon. The snow gets heavier and the wind gets stronger the higher we go. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1630353937670-CZNUKQMIDIL6AC4FL3YF/20214197.png Blog - A crazy trip to Denali. We’re going to call this trip “Biking in Blizzards” It was just plain nasty at the top of Sable Pass. 8-10 inches of snow was already on the ground and the road was bad. We could barely see as we pedaled and it just wasn’t safe any longer. There could have been a bear right next to the road and we’d have never seen it. Cold and wet, it was time to head back to the campground and turn up the heat in the motorhome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1630352875329-N28TRLQADB4DTM83NYJO/_0212699.jpg Blog - A crazy trip to Denali.

We saw a lot of bears in Thorofare as we were driving out, so I’m going to be paying close attention. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1625347813715-PDIMBKJPAN512Y4N4XX2/_0212377.jpg Blog - An amazing trip to Denali.

He knew I was on the road but just kept eating. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1625347792446-QR93HZEC1CUSTYFAX1XT/_0212372.jpg Blog - An amazing trip to Denali.

Maybe Top 10. After riding into a nasty headwind all the way from the top of Highway Pass to Polychrome, this big boy was just hanging out above the road watching the buses go by. I’ve got another 5 miles of bad headwind to the top of Sable Pass and then it’s downhill back to Tek. This has been one of our best trips ever. Can’t wait to go back again at the end of August for another even longer visit. https://www.eyeonalaska.com/blog/2021/6/26/sleeping-lady-sunset monthly 0.5 2021-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1624775404630-K1JWHAZF9CXT5YZBH6I9/20211888.jpg Blog - Sleeping Lady sunset - Make it stand out click on image for full-screen https://www.eyeonalaska.com/blog/2021/6/19/baby-moose-in-the-yard monthly 0.5 2021-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1624158659316-GSZRA7KG4SKU93BN561A/_0211829.jpg Blog - Baby Moose in the yard! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1624158658994-NT4BHP67SD00AFUDMI9O/_0211840.jpg Blog - Baby Moose in the yard! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1624158707235-Q35M346YWZN3Y26IYIF9/_0211851.jpg Blog - Baby Moose in the yard! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1624158677010-H0EWFBTZGGUO3Y1045NX/_0211843.jpg Blog - Baby Moose in the yard! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1624158680739-QE6J48EP0PT2ENOUTU3A/_0211845.jpg Blog - Baby Moose in the yard! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1624158700346-I9VXH3OH7QRWXE9MSCWN/_0211848.jpg Blog - Baby Moose in the yard! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1624158698898-4CODC7XIG6X65D9O0C8H/_0211859.jpg Blog - Baby Moose in the yard!

This area has been slumping for years as the permafrost melts, causing the road crew tremendous headaches trying to keep the road open. Sometime during this past winter this entire section of road slid off the mountain and was completely gone. They’ve done an amazing job—and moved an incredible amount of gravel—to get the road open again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1622317709240-XCUS2YN2DAQ2MD7VVW8I/20214041.jpg Blog - First trip to Denali in 2021 Our first bears of the year, a sow and yearling cub, down on the East Fork River flats probably digging for Eskimo Potato roots, one of the earliest foods available to them in the spring.

Igloo Canyon on the way back into the Park. Luckily we were able to catch an open bike rack on the first shuttle bus of the day so we decided to bus all the way back to Toklat and start riding from there. Those are our bikes on the front of the bus and boo-boo decided to come up on the road to say hi. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1622317718019-54NF64M7OQTTAVBL30CJ/20214066.jpg Blog - First trip to Denali in 2021 I thought he was going to come up and sniff our bikes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1622317736851-DC4VVNKHB9WZ8VGFRNB0/20214077.jpg Blog - First trip to Denali in 2021 Ptarmigan on the side of the road as we pedaled past. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1622317737569-DR3RZBH8MHXZ4D9KVQNS/20214087.jpg Blog - First trip to Denali in 2021 We rode the bikes from Tokalt up to Highway Pass.

On the way to Polychrome a bus driver coming downhill warned us about a sow and cub next to the road ahead of us. Sure enough, it was the same two we had seen earlier in the trip. Just as we got near them they both disappeared over the ridge, so we kept pedaling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1622317790950-EWVMXG7QV7IZXELKZD71/20214143.jpg Blog - First trip to Denali in 2021 After pedaling to the top of Polychrome Pass we started making our way back downhill. Momma bear and cub were much closer to the road this time. They made eye contact with us, but weren’t aggressive at all, in fact, Mom sat down facing away from us as we went past, so she didn’t think we were a threat. We got off the bikes and walked them past the bears as we hugged the rock wall next to us. This is why we call it biking with bears ;) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1622317800430-43EFTSX7SGONAB8RYESP/20214146a.png Blog - First trip to Denali in 2021 A zoomed-in shot of sow and cub. We like this kind of circumstance with the bears, close enough to get your adrenalin pumping, but the bears showing no aggression. As we pedaled back to the top of Sable Pass it began to snow a bit. Time to ride downhill back to the motorhome and a hot shower to end the trip.

I finally took the time to stop and take some shots of the infamous abandoned Igloo City hotel along the Parks Highway. Google it, it’s a fascinating story. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1601934484034-VDBZAZ53T6MQMX4GOJ4E/20203482.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali National Park.

On Wednesday morning I drove out to the Teklanika rest stop where the road was finally closed, then mountain biked from there to the East Fork river bridge. I had the entire road to myself which was magical. The top of Sable Pass was gorgeous. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1601934514200-ENUTWXG3HEM1FE82ABOQ/20203494.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali National Park.

Biking back to the Tek rest stop I came around a corner in Igloo forest and whoa! This cow moose was agitated, but not aggressive towards me at all. Turns out she had other things on her mind. I had found myself in the middle of a moose harem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1601934570741-ZWBYR2Y8USZV64ABKMQY/20203528.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali National Park. I heard a bull moose grunting right off the road, but couldn’t see him. Looking deeper, I realized his harem of six females were in the woods, so I grabbed a quick shot and left them be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1601934573482-Z1VTW3WAK4B1IMWULK06/20203532.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali National Park. Back at the Teklanika River bridge, I watched this big dust devil heading my way.

Devany drove up separately and arrived Wednesday night. On Thursday morning we woke up to this Spruce Grouse next to the picnic table, evidently wondering if we had brought treats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1601934596562-XHLVVRYEW5WN9M1HZIYZ/20203550.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali National Park. Because we had the car on this trip, we decided to go exploring and drove to Healy and then all the way out Stampede Road. Big open country out there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1601934618699-3IWQSD7L7QLJXQBTF67X/20203599.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali National Park.

While having our morning coffee, Park Rangers came by and let us know they were going to be running the sled dogs around the campground roads. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1601934655234-PIVELAXOZLG41V1NM2ZG/20203630.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali National Park.

Took another drive out to Tek rest stop and were going to bike to Toklat, but we discovered that Devany’s ebike was broken, plus high winds made it an easy decision to forget biking and just slowly drive back looking for critters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1601934698815-8S9PZIUS9AEJN7I2K1UQ/20203685.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali National Park.

Friday night we took a drive out to shoot the sunset. Just as we got near the Savage Campground as it was getting darker, we were in for a treat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1601934731821-GZKVFIUOP2YH957M2RYV/20203696.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali National Park. There was a car parked in the road, but we didn’t see anything, so we drove around him, only to realize that there were two bull moose fighting in the ditch below the road. I pulled over and grabbed the camera just in time to get this big boy coming up out of the ditch. He was the loser in the rutting scrum, notice the broken tine on his antler and the scrapes on his face. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1601934730458-9HK6X3V4I3IQLNWOUTY9/20203711.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali National Park. It’s getting dark now, so these photos are enhanced quite a bit with photoshop. As we’re sitting there this even bigger bull crossed the road right in front of us. He’s the one that beat the younger bull. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1601934752378-QAKIB48XU3DMC8QOW4H6/20203721.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali National Park. And here’s one of the reasons for all the drama. This cow came up on the road wondering where the bulls had gone. We were joined by a National Park Wildlife Ranger which was fun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1601934755051-3FIKIQVLIFYBVZKKT4OY/20203724.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali National Park. This just keeps getting better. A young bull came up onto the road looking towards the woods where the two big bulls had gone into. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1601934768186-ZTATEZF5IK3A4J573ETU/20203738.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali National Park.

As we were driving into the Teklanika campground on Monday morning, we got to see the Rangers trying to find a juvenile delinquent bear that’s been causing some problems in the Primrose area. They were going to dart it and put a radio tracking collar on it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1596931354433-HJG7NE3S90JBWUC8IMCQ/20202561.jpg Blog - Another spectacular Denali visit.

Our first just a bit too close bear while on the bikes. About 80 yards off the road, so not really scary, but when he saw us, stood up and made eye-contact, it was time to go. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1596931474588-HMH8X89RMTPRK753FHDB/20202678.jpg Blog - Another spectacular Denali visit.

Early Thursday morning, our last full day in the park, and we’re going to bike up and over Sable Pass. The light this morning is incredible.

Time for the WAY too close bear encounter. We were biking down from the top of Sable Pass to the East Fork river bridge when we spotted this guy at the last moment not 30 yards below the road. He stopped his digging long enough to give us a good look and luckily decided to ignore us. We quietly moved downhill a bit further and then put some distance between us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1596931798388-QCZ4A0OOJWE11IVD6TE7/20202827.jpg Blog - Another spectacular Denali visit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1596931807516-75F0OYK32WBEM27J2NW0/20202850.jpg Blog - Another spectacular Denali visit. Luckily, we put the bikes back on a bus from the East Fork River bridge heading further into the park when we found this guy crossing the road just below the Polychrome Overlook. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1596931831239-H6ZWKZJTFLABKVAHXHZY/20202885.jpg Blog - Another spectacular Denali visit. And then he put on a show for us, furiously digging for a ground squirrel right below the edge of the road. Dirt was flying, he was grunting and growling. It was incredible. We were also REALLY glad to be on a bus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1596931843699-CYG0GDN5DGBK95FGHSC9/20202899.jpg Blog - Another spectacular Denali visit.

We saw this big boy from the bus while we were driving up to the top of Highway Pass to be dropped off with our bikes. He had moved off a safe distance by the time we got back to this spot, but we were going to have a run-in with him the following day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1595112147756-GMS3ZQYK1TQ4RZBTDH44/20202354ws.jpg Blog - Denali during COVID.

As the bus pulled away our bear walked over the top of the hill behind us not 20 seconds later. Luckily he moved downhill, but towards the road. A Ranger was coming our way and offered to turn around and escort us around the bear which was a bit too close to the road for comfort. We rode right next to her truck until safely past the bear. This is the Ranger watching the bear after we had biked a safe distance beyond it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1595112188818-WB70HGSR60483T6LI95S/20202360ws.jpg Blog - Denali during COVID.

While sitting there watching boo-boo, we looked behind us across a small creek and holy-cow, there are three bears—a sow with a year old cub and most likely another sow below them.

Just up from the Savage River bridge, the color is just exploding around us as we drive into the Teklanika campground on Thursday afternoon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1568174093546-X7SQ7GIBRHS22O06ZUYJ/20194004.jpg Blog - Denali in all her Fall glory. Very first thing Friday morning as we begin. Momma Bear and two cubs on the Teklanika River. We’re off to a good start. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1568174085519-C0LKPHFO72UKD2LR9R7O/20194008.jpg Blog - Denali in all her Fall glory. We started biking the Park Road at the top of Sable Pass early Friday morning. Denali was out to say hi. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1568174110312-1SSBH2TTJL480GPZIDLL/20194009.jpg Blog - Denali in all her Fall glory. Just as we started biking downhill towards the East Fork River we saw this Golden Eagle landing above the road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1568174106533-Z9S5P409A6H2QYMF8H44/20194013.jpg Blog - Denali in all her Fall glory. We’re above the East Fork river bridge, looking towards Haystack Rock which is 2 1/2 stories tall out on the Polychrome Flats.

We biked from Polychrome Pass to the Toklat River. The scenery was like this the entire way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1568174138161-0G4HB4F95S86APH73WXP/20194020.jpg Blog - Denali in all her Fall glory. The fall colors were at peak in some areas and just past peak in others, the brilliant reds and yellows quickly turning brown. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1568174144109-1YAQ4Y5S5OVBD8KF3F1H/20194026.jpg Blog - Denali in all her Fall glory. We love riding the bikes past these Arctic Ground Squirrels. They always come out to see what’s going on and have no fear of us. These little critters are absolutely critical to the food chain in Denali. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1568174148208-MJYNH52Z59UW1B4FE7FD/20194035.jpg Blog - Denali in all her Fall glory.

The scene from the Eielson Visitor Center. The hiking trails around the center were closed because of an unnecessary incident between hikers and bears. A “guide” who didn’t know what they were doing was leading a group of five people when they encountered a bear with cubs. The guide told the people to drop their backpacks and back away from the bears. This is the worst thing they could have done. Now the bears have gotten into five backpacks that had food in them. The Rangers are now trying to habituate those bears into not associating humans with food. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1568174169288-97HTC7ZWYQOIKBDZP1XB/20194055.jpg Blog - Denali in all her Fall glory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1568174170015-GJUF00ERCJ3X89F12YWD/20194064.jpg Blog - Denali in all her Fall glory. We named this little guy “Stumpy” A cross fox that has lost part of his tail. We wonder if this is one of the pups whose mom was hit by a service truck earlier this summer. Hopefully this one makes it through the winter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1568174183461-14QHLB4TXY8MH15O6MFW/20194082.jpg Blog - Denali in all her Fall glory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1568174182219-F3AEYWJY3QDJ7BI0AL4R/20194090.jpg Blog - Denali in all her Fall glory. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1568174200344-2RH49BKDX506WE0BOWBU/20194100.jpg Blog - Denali in all her Fall glory.

Okay, maybe just a bit too close on the bikes when you come around a corner. We walked our bikes backwards very quietly until we couldn’t see them and with perfect timing one of our favorite shuttle bus drivers came up behind us and we threw the bikes on the rack and jumped in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1568174207723-4O3299BBLQOK1EEC8933/20194113.jpg Blog - Denali in all her Fall glory.

We ended up grabbing a shuttle bus just before Wonder Lake, threw the bikes on the rack and rode the bus back to the top of Sable Pass. One last long ride down through Igloo Canyon to the campground and that will be it for this year. And talk about your perfect goodbye! Momma Bear and cubs were in almost the same spot at the Tek river as they were on Friday morning when we started this trip.

Caribou, bears and fireweed. Fireweed everywhere! We’ve never seen so much, in so many different places, and so high up on the slopes. The Park is the greenest we’ve ever seen it.

Caribou, bears and fireweed. Just after we got off the bus at the top of Sable Pass and started biking downhill we spotted this sow bear with a spring cub. They were quite a ways off the road, so we sat and watched them for almost an hour. There were two spring cubs playing with each other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1563998502502-YHKPSMP4AE86BKDOUG0H/20193131.jpg Blog - Denali in July.

Saturday morning we’re back on the bikes with glorious weather. We’re dropped off again at the top of Sable Pass where the fireweed is insane. Denali is beginning to peek out of the clouds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1563999076155-BV9N3MRN8YELC4V19BYA/20193228.jpg Blog - Denali in July.

We sat and watched them for quite awhile. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1563999099361-KXRPZ35SM941SY8SLA88/20193263.jpg Blog - Denali in July.

Caribou, bears and fireweed. And then this happened. I came around a blind corner on the bike to find this big bull caribou sprinting up the road directly at me! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1563999068987-JYQ8E0P0EFY1A9QQQMMU/20193077.jpg Blog - Denali in July. Caribou, bears and fireweed. We both locked up the brakes and eyed each other. He was curious and inched closer, to within 20 ft, but wasn’t aggressive at all. I said “hello, caribou” and when he heard a human voice he spun around a sprinted back down the road at top speed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1563999104954-TMLZ5JQW2NG8O29QEDVG/20193264.jpg Blog - Denali in July. Caribou, bears and fireweed. Arctic ground squirrels everywhere. It’s a tough life being at the bottom of the food chain, but they’re one of the most important food sources in the Park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1563999105058-WCVNP65I5ZKA36E4IYGX/20193266.jpg Blog - Denali in July. Caribou, bears and fireweed. On Sunday, almost all the clouds are gone from Denali as we slowly bike and bus our way to the Eielson visitor center. By the time we got there, it had completely clouded over again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1563999120338-YT8S7OPF0UAC5QOKBK4L/20193296.jpg Blog - Denali in July. Caribou, bears and fireweed. Some visitors hiking the trails below the Eielson Visitor Center had a close encounter with a caribou cow and calf. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1563999118046-7HX24GP4Q8HSOUUZ05NZ/20193300.jpg Blog - Denali in July. Caribou, bears and fireweed. We got dropped off at the top of Highway Pass and were biking downhill when we spotted movement on a ridge below us. It was a sow with a spring cub. They were too close to the road for comfort, so we waited for another shuttle bus, put the bikes on the rack and told the driver there were bears ahead. All of the passengers love us! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1563999128686-Z4B34S9CZP0O6O81PRHB/20193319.jpg Blog - Denali in July. Caribou, bears and fireweed. By the time the bus got to the bears they had moved downhill and into the willows, so never got any good shots of them. But it was good to see a another spring cub, which keeps the population stable if they can make it through their first year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1563999134531-3H55OA8APSQKA9LCL9AI/20193331.jpg Blog - Denali in July.

Caribou, bears and fireweed. Our final ride of the trip from the top of Sable Pass back to the tek campground. We watched this bus have to follow a very slow caribou for almost half a mile. Even though I’m sure that this late in the day the passengers just wanted to get back to the park entrance, the buses aren’t allowed to alter the animals behavior. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1563999139921-6D0G9447AQRHG0LGRF7B/20193348.jpg Blog - Denali in July.

We put the bikes on the rack and told the driver there were bears on the road ahead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1559690145482-GSP58OPTV264Y0YRJ2Z3/20192621.jpg Blog - First trip back to Denali for 2019 And now we’re really happy we were on a bus instead of the bikes!

We dock for the night at Well of Seven Heads on Loch Oich. The monument which stands above this ancient well was erected in 1812. Its carving of a hand holding a dagger and seven severed heads commemorates an incident which took place in September 1663. The accounts of this event are many and varied. Alasdair and Ranald MacDonald of Keppoch were murdered by their uncle, Alasdair Buidhe of Inverlair, 'apparently to no great grief in the district'. On learning this, Ian Lom, the Keppoch Bard, borrowed 50 men from MacDonald of Sleat in order to bring the murderers to justice. On arriving at Inverlair and, finding the house barricaded, they set it on fire, forcing out the seven men inside who were killed. Their heads were severed and washed in the well before being presented to the Chief of Glengarry. However, it is not known whether any of these seven were involved in the murders. The remains of seven bodies were later discovered in a mound nearby https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1557770460507-1Y36K0N4URPR0EYA2CON/20191935.jpg Blog - Exploring the Scottish Highlands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1557770612074-9PMMZ7C9X4T9IY81H7HB/20191944.jpg Blog - Exploring the Scottish Highlands.

We’re back in Fort Augustus for the night, and our timing is perfect.

We were really lucky going up and coming down the Fort August locks as we only had to share each lock with a couple of other boats. This morning they were packing them in. Most of the people renting canal boats have little or no experience with the locks, so it was fascinating to watch. The lock keepers at Fort Augustus have to be some of the most patient people on the planet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1557770813587-UHY8GLEKHZ5X1Z1RF9AV/20191971.jpg Blog - Exploring the Scottish Highlands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1557767867094-V48LNX0K7F1AX9V1K91X/20191543.jpg Blog - Exploring the Scottish Highlands.

Back on the bike riding from the top of Highway Pass back to the Toklat River. Looking back towards Denali. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536688954554-0EKFH3LZ3IK0KYP3QBCX/20187694.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. Arctic Ground Squirrel watching me bike down Highway Pass. It won’t be much longer until it’s hibernating for the winter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536688796326-2ZCMPVDAS1DNM59TX2B5/20187641.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. More gorgeous colors above the Toklat River. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536689002916-RE5EENJ7QQ5WZZTOX6VI/20187700.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. At the very top of Sable Pass in the afternoon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536688997382-CWOM178YXWASKLHMGZCG/20187697.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. At the top of Igloo Canyon getting ready to bike downhill to Igloo Creek. The fun is about to begin a couple of miles down the road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536689777100-HNW7CO51BD8KJNWV58I0/20187727.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. Near the bottom of Igloo Canyon I see a shuttle bus stopped on the road. Yep, those are 2 bears on the road in front of it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536689097423-GBDACM0QX6ZW4QWQXITP/20187725.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. The bears are slowly moving downhill on the road as the bus keeps following them at a safe distance. I’m plenty far away at this point. Notice the 2 spruce trees right on the shoulder of the road at the top left just as the road curves and disappears. After about 15 minutes the bears and bus finally go over the crest of the road and I keep going very slowly downhill until I’m just about where the bus is in this picture. Guess what happens? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536689117648-WYEVNI43UZCUUUNJ9EBC/20187744.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. No, they didn’t keep going downhill! Just as I got to where the bus had been stopped I saw their heads pop up above the road and they’re headed my way. I get off the bike and start walking it back uphill while keeping a eye on them. They’re moving at a pretty good clip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536689242887-RD6T77RNMB28O8CS9PWA/20187816.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. Perfect timing! A shuttle bus comes down the road behind me and I flag him down. He sees what’s going on and I have just enough time to put my bike on the rack on the front of the bus and jump in with my stuff. Safe! Yep, that’s the bike I was on about 2 minutes earlier. Time to take some pictures :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536689117491-5MDQVYUI9IFWZYRPWSHI/20187761.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. The driver and I thought this might just be 2 adolescent bears that were causing a bit of trouble last fall in this area at the Igloo Creek Campground. They proceeded to circle our bus several times. One of them actually hit the side of the bus with its paw and the driver hit the air brakes to try and scare it away. They don’t want them quite that close or comfortable with the buses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536689139622-O0XND7SRIDY4OTSR1NFG/20187768.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. So I got to spend quite a bit of time watching these two. Very glad to be on the bus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536689144693-DYV324RECLGVLWWMECCV/20187779.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536689166869-AD7CAOPR49TFPPPIEGWM/20187797.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536689164054-7AWIV2EFEKGZ74STPTUW/20187801.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. Eye contact with a grizzly bear. These are special moments. Glad there was a windshield between us ;) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536689243220-DQATXCMXY5DX8AGY6RSC/20187822.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536695010020-C2LNPYNS08AB4MRYX84N/20187826.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. Look at the claws! And this is not a huge bear. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536689284423-SN84GO2CQQI18BT8B1BI/20187837-2.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. They finally starting heading back up the Park Road. A Ranger had come up behind us in his truck and he picked up another biker that was behind us. The distance between the bear and the truck is just about exactly how close I was when I was able to get on the bus at the start of this amazing encounter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536689323802-1H0NZPAXM8DYVSX3XNYD/20187862.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. I figured I’d used up my good luck for the day, so decided to stay on the shuttle bus all the way back to the Park entrance. Got this cow moose enjoying the early evening sun near Savage River. Back to the motorhome finally. What a day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536689330296-3WYQ70UG6OCGQRIAQDKD/20187916.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. It dropped to 24 degrees on Saturday night, but the sun’s out and it’s gorgeous. Put the bike on the early bus into the park and off we go. We run into this guy up in Primrose and the light is perfect! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536689341162-Q5723UWAYI8ACBBG0360/20187932.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536689401740-H2F7BD4NQ48UJ1FGZVQC/20187941.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. I see you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1536689399369-UUTDHMC8M53SO5JZKRHE/20187960.jpg Blog - A bonus trip to Denali on a spectacular fall weekend. So I biked Sable Pass down to East Fork bridge again, bike back on a bus to the top of Highway Pass, bike back to Toklat, bus to top of Sable and biked down Igloo Canyon again. No bears on the road today! What an amazing trip. https://www.eyeonalaska.com/blog/2018/8/31/gorgeous-visitor-this-afternoon monthly 0.5 2018-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535758131937-XZ2F0MVAPXG09ETBIKWW/20187529.jpg Blog - Gorgeous visitor this afternoon click on image for full-screen https://www.eyeonalaska.com/blog/2018/8/28/another-magical-visit-to-denali-national-park monthly 0.5 2018-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535523776580-0L6LKY0F8LA68700M02N/20186944.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. This guy was waiting to welcome us back to Denali just below the summit of Sable Pass. We got off the shuttle bus and on to our mountain bikes about a mile beyond him. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535524431909-OVWTF5GE62KXO7MG6OLA/20186928.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. Nothing like a good-sized grizzly bear staring straight at you to get your attention :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535523708542-ATR2B51ABFJGOIR1KABS/20186897.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. Good sized caribou up at the top of Sable Pass. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535523717882-RONH7C8QY4G8QTM9NBMN/20186899.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. We were very surprised to see so much Fireweed still in bloom. Fall seemed late in Denali. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535523732189-N9ONQA1HW6E061GIQY5Q/20186903.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. As we biked down Sable Pass to the East Fork river, the light got better and better, and the land was glowing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535523747821-CGAEEGZ4IH1F87C3VVNP/20186905.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. The view from above the East Fork bridge on Thursday night. On Friday it’s going to look a bit different. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535523806404-2CLX6GGNOJ53BOPBRO8U/20186951.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. This is what we woke up to early Friday morning. Rain and clouds. We load the bikes on a shuttle bus early in the morning and head out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535523799546-CN9T7FLQS13W8TT1EO9G/20186949.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. Termination Dust! It’s what we call the first snow of the year and there was plenty of it on the high peaks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535523858053-Q29UI4SNQVTQ6XP9FGUI/20186975.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. We spotted a sow with 2 spring cubs up near the top of Highway Pass as we were getting the bikes off the shuttle bus so we could head downhill. This soggy cub was shaking the rain off. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535523831000-PXTP8IXR2F3NVXVSK56K/20186953.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. And now the magic begins. We biked down from the top of Highway Pass back towards the spot above the Toklat River that we thought the wolves might be hanging out at, and sure enough, we spotted the almost white female way out in the distance! She’s laying down to the right above the pond. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535523831481-7GQYR4IHJI2XRKXZ2HAT/20186958.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. They were at least one-half mile away, so I would have needed the longest lens on the planet to get good shots of them. For the next 3 days, we would sit at this spot and watch them for hours and hours. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535523869588-M8102W369DPKW6K3L3K6/20187029.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. Spotted this probably 2 year old cub just below us at Marmot Rock. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535523911719-VZHMHD56X7A7SLB8L3MM/20187040.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. That’s a long way down to the river. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535523694749-O4VJ8TE2AJ0ISPGUBWK6/20186893.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park.

At the end of a long first day riding in the rain. Not ashamed to say we LOVE coming back to our motorhome and a hot shower after days like this ;) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535523931044-DR4KPE3UMIZPEFTRH5VT/20187055.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. Back at the top of Sable Pass on a gorgeous, sunny Saturday morning! We’re back on the bikes and Devany is looking for critters. Denali is out in the distance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535523919956-MP2M7Q5QB4A2HM3ZNORU/20187052.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. A nice herd of Dall Sheep heading down a sunny slope on the way down to East Fork River. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535523949236-RF3XOUYHVNU9BRLZ07HR/20187062.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. More fresh snow overnight. It’s probably going to be there for the rest of the winter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535523954820-NT747M0YTUTF5CEI3KW8/20187077.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. Denali is out on what’s going to be the nicest day in the Park on this trip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535523979866-4DWFTB02BRN79PJFSR54/20187115.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. The wolves are still there! Mom’s laying in the sun, so we’re going to spend about 3 hours sitting and watching them. Todays gift is getting to see the pups! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535523994107-PKLB02PD28M0Q7TR6MRL/20187136.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. The weather is sensational this afternoon while we’re sitting watching the wolves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535524009976-4XKOGCQRPDJULZ901I8F/20187156.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. They’re active all afternoon. All these wolf photos are zoomed in and cropped. They were a long way away. We think might be the male coming back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535524023286-LTA1RYEXI3GOG7FZD646/20187182.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. And the pups start coming in! The wolf biologist studying this breeding pair has found that they’re actually adolescents that normally wouldn’t have mated yet. This is the result of the dominant alpha wolf being trapped last winter outside the park boundary. This young pair has evidently split off and started a new family. Hopefully the pups will survive with a major support family to help out. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535524044183-M22E2PVWQ27IP3GWPMYV/20187187.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. Our group of wolf-watchers on a sunny day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535524071037-76C7BZ6014TPXKDQ0IDS/20187205.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. Wolves to the left of me, bears to right, here I am. Just on the other side of the little knoll we’re watching the wolves from is this view of Denali. Notice the bear at the bottom of the frame? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535524071081-HHZOH1LYPIL0H690DXS3/20187219.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. It’s not everyday you see a wolf pup chasing ducks ;) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535524121291-QG58838SL7ZR86TO966D/20187239.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. Late in the day we see this gorgeous bull caribou along the Toklat River as we start heading back to camp. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535524104629-H3GSPBZC32ZDNJ8P6VUR/20187245.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. A gyrfalcon that’s been nesting in this same spot all summer. We saw several of the young ones flying around. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535524129164-ANU96YKNAGSGDZ09PII5/20187255.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. As we waited at the top of Sable Pass for our friends this curious Arctic Ground Squirrel decided to check out the bikes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535524147613-OYSKXR4R801H3MW0TDA5/20187266.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. I think he wanted a ride down Igloo Canyon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535524180416-8SZ9M5PV378695KMZCZ2/20187275.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. Our friends joined us with their bikes and we headed towards Igloo Canyon and the campground. Not more than 200 yards down the road I looked up just as this cub popped up out of the berry patch! He was no more than 100 yards from us. Way too close! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535524207881-CZ5VXV17UKI0GQYBPOR2/20187302.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. We got off the bikes and walked them downhill. Just a bit further, we found Momma bear and another cub. They saw us but paid no attention and just kept eating berries. Once we were around a corner out of their view we jumped back on the bikes and headed down the canyon and back to the Teklanika campground. What a day! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535524214225-K9OL4I21MD9EB74J8L86/20187308.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. Sunday, we wake up to another rainy day. As we head up Igloo Canyon we spot this young bull moose and cow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535524261139-XPSAYAA08F7IX0KCOZIL/20187319.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. Sow with 2 cubs in Highway Pass. They look like possibly spring cubs, but they’re big. The one cub has the distinctive blond collar around the shoulders. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535524252284-TS6VO7IUMHW8HZZ9NTKD/20187325.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. Here we go again. As we’re biking down from the top of Highway Pass to go visit the wolves, this guy pops up out of the berry patch above the road. I think he caught our scent, but no worries. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535524275035-HHUQFIAFJROGZTRL81WX/20187334.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. Back to the wolves and the pups are going crazy! It’s evident that the wolves have made a kill at some point and there are a bunch of Ravens trying to steal scraps. The pups are chasing them around and around. The Ravens are making a game of it. Great fun to watch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535524281319-OIOTUYTCROOAG54K9650/20187337.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. These are probably the best pictures I got of the wolves. I wish I had had a much longer lens, but just seeing them was magical. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535524297491-CH8ZQRV4TBMT4KGT58E9/20187338.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1535524320379-GZM65ERCESCIQISYGXGE/20187360.jpg Blog - A magical trip to Denali National Park. This gives you a little better idea of how far away the wolves were.

Denali is out and showing off! What a beautiful day. There’s a surprise in store as well. There are a couple of buses pulled over down on the flats looking at something.

The shuttle bus couldn’t stay for long, so we rode to Eielson Visitor Center and then biked back to a spot well above the bears to watch them for a long time. The cubs were really playful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1533249705918-BWAMUWP8ZCU6PZBH9KPC/20186509.jpg Blog - Denali magic.

And this is why. Just up the road in the direction we’re heading.

Safely on-board a bus we catch up to what turns out to be the scrawny bear we saw the other day. He proceeds to shuffle up the middle of the road and the buses are not allowed to herd them or alter their behavior, so we follow him for almost 2 miles to near the summit of Highway Pass. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1533249789321-I3YJA9EBFMKKD792X09O/20186582.jpg Blog - Denali magic.

And now for the magic. We’ve biked down Highway Pass to the area where there might be wolves. We’re about to be blessed with a very rare sighting. As the sun moves it lights up a bright spot on the hill. Could it be? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1533249917423-AIGC9T9XO6SELISABFJQ/20186669.jpg Blog - Denali magic.

We got to the park Thursday afternoon so we were able to grab the last bus of the night going into the park for a scouting mission. Spotted this caribou next to the road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1528346129887-2J47ZD3C8JB3V7XF9906/20183260.jpg Blog - Spring in Denali, 2018.

Hoary Marmot meets Ms. Hoary Marmot seconds later.

We took a short hike from the Toklat rest stop and found this female Ptarmigan next to the trail. She couldn’t have cared less that we were there. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1528346269113-ZO3W0EIKY7HQXWK2DSGV/20183307.jpg Blog - Spring in Denali, 2018. Pretty fresh set of wolf tracks on the Toklat River mud. Sadly, we didn’t get to see any wolves this trip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1528346384472-HNCHL1Q9889DCG7PLC0F/20183420.jpg Blog - Spring in Denali, 2018. Friday morning, our first full day in the park. We took the mountain bikes to the top of Sable Pass on a shuttle bus and got off to take the easy 5 mile coast downhill to the East Fork River bridge. Our first view of Denali emerging from the clouds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1528346415492-RFO9ACJISSTYLNIXD0EE/20183426.jpg Blog - Spring in Denali, 2018. Sable Pass scenic. It’s still just barely Spring up here. We’re not expecting many animals this high, because there’s not much to eat yet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1528346440971-52K0LC6ZNR6P0RC45M8S/20183447.jpg Blog - Spring in Denali, 2018. Near the bottom of Sable Pass heading to the East Fork River. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1528346278143-0J9QG4IE4ULN6A8OY10U/20183331.jpg Blog - Spring in Denali, 2018. As we got near the bridge, we spotted a gold dot on the road around a corner and about 1/2 mile ahead of us. Yep, that’s a bear on the road. We flagged down a shuttle bus, put the bikes on and told the driver there were bears on the road up ahead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1528346328219-TZD2T8WF7P21VEISM5O3/20183351.jpg Blog - Spring in Denali, 2018. And here they are! Turns out it was a sow with a yearling cub. They hung out right on the road or next to it for quite a while. Great fun to see them that close without being on the bikes at the time! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1528346343578-KURZP5RGVE16P59T1KZ9/20183358.jpg Blog - Spring in Denali, 2018.

We biked Highway Pass in the afternoon, and then Sable Pass back to our motorhome in the Teklanika campground. Got there just as the rain began. We love our “tent” :) Have to admit that a quick hot shower is really nice after a long day of pedaling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1528346513479-Y00J3IKGZOC09709SAJS/20183426.jpg Blog - Spring in Denali, 2018. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1528346457213-W78ZIW98EYLA0A1FCK3S/20183465.jpg Blog - Spring in Denali, 2018. Saturday morning. Shuttle to the top of Sable Pass again and get on the bikes. This male Ptarmigan was waiting to greet us in the early morning sun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1528346612902-6Z1SC199TRCJV31QEDEC/20183447.jpg Blog - Spring in Denali, 2018. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1528346521022-I4FT2B11H1JEX8EOKQPY/20183484.jpg Blog - Spring in Denali, 2018. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1528346640161-L9B2QCLFZQDF5IS2CKD7/20183510.jpg Blog - Spring in Denali, 2018. Got to watch this yearling cub and his Mom just past the Toklat River. The cub was sliding down the snow bank and having a blast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1528346738107-CXKMN6GV41JLEFRY6CS8/20183520.jpg Blog - Spring in Denali, 2018. And this is what greeted us at Stoney Pass. Denali is out in all her glory on a truly beautiful—and rare—day in the Park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1528346717138-1WCKBBX1J5T4EFXLDMGT/20183545.jpg Blog - Spring in Denali, 2018.

Denali is out again on Sunday as we head in again on the bikes. Sunscreen would have been nice on this trip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1528347281398-7V8E80669MOP6NGCGBWS/IMG_5584.jpg Blog - Spring in Denali, 2018.

This is the weirdest animal sighting of the whole trip. A beaver where there was absolutely no reason for one to be spotted. This beaver was in a small creek to the west of Stoney Pass Summit in an area were it just made no sense at all. Must have been an explorer beaver ;) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1528346861890-J1Z2Q08ZE5N4YZAVJW44/20183566.jpg Blog - Spring in Denali, 2018. Sunday we’re back in on another gorgeous day.

Literally in the space of 3 warm days these tundra flowers sprang up in Highway Pass. We stopped at this exact spot 3 days in a row to bike and didn’t see these until Sunday. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1528347026683-MTE6P1EK7AXMDF6EZZ2E/20183623.jpg Blog - Spring in Denali, 2018.

This is what greeted us at the top of Sable Pass as we unloaded the bikes and began the long downhill run to East Fork. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802849690-PL1D2XDBE5IPK6IU4I1Q/IMG_3012.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. We didn't see any critters on the ride down Sable Pass to the East Fork of the Toklat River bridge and waited to pick up a bus headed up hill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802843465-FCAQUDCNTAQTYTU5IR1C/IMG_3014.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. Because why pedal uphill when you can throw the bikes on a bus and ride up ;) We actually don't like to bike from Polychrome Pass down to East Fork because it's the most narrow, twisting part of the Park Road. If I was driving one of the buses I wouldn't want to have to worry about bikes on this stretch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802853573-E7P0BCGCYHAP9CHJNPUP/IMG_3016.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. Just after we get on the bus, Devany spots movement on the river--almost a mile away. It's a sow bear and her spring cub. And then things get really interesting! This all happened a very long distance from us, so the following pictures are all zoomed in and cropped as much as possible and still hold up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802857195-8N1TQFKG1ZEJHT9X6LOW/IMG_3023.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. Two black wolves appear and try to catch the cub! Mama hurries to hide the cub in the bushes and then starts chasing the wolves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802864201-14YJH9PMHQWSOS1UMCC7/IMG_3024.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. The sow keeps herself between the wolves and the bushes where the cub is hiding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802868183-M8L44QQI7JH3ITS3FFRG/IMG_3025.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. More action. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802875347-NKPIY3D4VOZC90NQ4FZ6/IMG_3028.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. Seems like the wolves are rethinking this. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802880966-WSFU1AJ7Z4EJVAYL8BXU/IMG_3039.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. Happy ending! Mom and baby make their way up the hillside and the wolves give up. This drama was amazing to watch. Terrible photography conditions, but who cares. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802883117-RUBA247JD0R34O639174/IMG_3060.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. We're heading towards Toklat rest stop when we see this developing behind us. Good thing we weren't on the bikes in Sable Pass at the time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802887295-A5IVGFEIOXN4DUH8ZJJG/IMG_3061.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. At Toklat rest stop. The storm moves in rapidly, and then the most intense rain, thunder, and lightning I've ever experienced in Alaska. It was just nuts. We left at 8:45 pm and it got so dark I quit taking pictures. While making our way back through the steepest part of Polychrome Pass the hillside was actually washing onto the road. We were the last bus out that night. Early the next morning they had to bring in heavy equipment to clear the landslides before the first traffic of the day could start. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802831974-HW0UNQ3UA1CFHI7YJCOZ/IMG_3010.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. Friday morning, July 7th. After hard rain and thunder all night, the weather cleared and this greeted us as we headed back into the park. Today we bike Sable to East Fork, Polychrome Pass to Toklat, Highway Pass back to Toklat, and finally Sable Pass back to the Teklanika campground. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802756304-UMMB7KK2NFSQU6GQ7167/IMG_3089.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. Big bull caribou up near the top of Polychrome Pass. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802881737-PM9T8U7ZPGE3W26P0JRM/IMG_3042.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. Visitors from all over the world come to Denali each summer. It's great fun to talk with them as we ride the buses to the top of another pass.   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802764529-MJ17CWK6D9Z46AH1M0S5/IMG_3094.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. Saturday, July 8th. We've loaded the bikes onto the first bus of the day and have barely left the campground when Devany spots this on the Teklanika River below us, a female wolf with a radio collar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802769909-1JOMXYT7H48D9QIZJ5SX/IMG_3108.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. The wolf is looking back at some bike riders that are crossing the Teklanika River bridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802783409-JBBH7JDL1X1DJ0HMHEZH/IMG_3116.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. Look at those paws! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802779278-LWVBW7IHYW7MKR6TLGUN/IMG_3124.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. Our big bull caribou is up in Polychrome Pass again, causing quite the traffic jam. The buses aren't allowed to herd the animals, so we wait patiently until he finally moves around the corner and up a small valley. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802798747-VLAAE2S7E82ZYTDHX70Y/IMG_3152.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. Sunday, July 9th. After another all-night thunderstorm, the skies cleared and we head back to the top of Sable Pass. We couldn't get off the bus right at the top because of this. A sow and her two cubs from last year were sleeping next to the road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802796570-5T15I2I6K965HY0DNMPP/IMG_3153.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. This is what the bear pile looked like from the road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802811989-KO3RYPNTF8ORI8MN5VM7/IMG_3168.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. The bus drivers can only let us out 1/2 mile from any animals, so we head downhill and right as we're going to get dropped off, here is this big boar next to the road. It's very unusual to see a male and female with cubs this close together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802812169-NI5OBWK3Y3PRD30EY65X/IMG_3190.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. Finally on the bikes heading down Sable Pass. The wind was absolutely howling up on the peaks of Denali in the distance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802823719-Q23H7JN819MR2ACRVOL7/IMG_3196.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. It turns into another gorgeous day so we rode out of the Eielson Visitor Center towards Wonder Lake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802818541-ICS84AKMXO1D8H72HU4J/IMG_3197.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. A typical scene in the park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802825406-670N7664JM1338E3P6XI/IMG_3209.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. On the flats headed towards Wonder Lake. We ended up running into one of our favorite shuttle bus drivers, so we jumped on his bus to chat for awhile and road back to Highway Pass where we started biking again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1499802830839-1T4E2QRS7RE3R99418MP/IMG_3217.jpg Blog - Back to Denali National Park. Monday, July 10th. The road home beckons. Didn't get any truly great pictures this trip; but we had another incredible visit.

The wolves and bears were waiting for us. Not a great picture, but this is the first bear we saw of the year right off the Teklanika rest area. 100 yards up the road we find out it's closed to bike traffic, so we have to change our plans. We'll see more of this guy later. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1496795945332-K1IWGLGWOXB8C7AL460I/IMG_2387.jpg Blog - First trip to Denali in 2017.

Moored just after going through this lock at Point Plaisance. We had to wait for the lunch hour to be over before the next lock which we thought was one of the few with an honest human lock-keeper. Sadly it has been automated like the rest of the locks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1493926430842-LU3WX8WJJLJ4OEXYN0JB/IMG_1853.jpg Blog - France, Day 6. Ranchot to Besançon. Our big disappointment for the day. This is the "art" tunnel at Point Plaisance. An artist created water curtains at each end and flowing lights along the ceiling that race from one end to the other as you pass through. Those of you who have been through the tunnel at O'hare airport will understand what it's supposed to look like. Sadly, it was not functioning today. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1493926444124-9UA4GB5GY1901SIYFCPC/IMG_1862.jpg Blog - France, Day 6. Ranchot to Besançon.

Our first night in the park we caught a shuttle bus to the top of Sable Pass for a 10 mile mountain bike ride back to the Teklanika campground. This is the scenery that welcomed us back to our favorite place in Alaska. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1472595470950-2YG0PAZYEGGLSZLLMUO6/IMG_8191.jpg Blog - Back to Denali, aka Biking with Bears.

Time to play "Spot the Bear". This is our first morning. We've gotten off the bus at the top of Sable Pass and are mountain biking 5 miles to the East Fork River. See the Dall Sheep on the mountainside? Look below them to the left. Yep, that's a bear. Plenty far off the road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1472595489802-UU7JE0Z08WQ47DMVLNTA/IMG_8207.jpg Blog - Back to Denali, aka Biking with Bears. The thrill of the day. Just as we get to the East Fork river bridge, we see momma bear with the only surviving triplets in the park. It's rare for all three to survive. The little one got himself stuck in the steep rocks and was screaming for mom to come save him. This is a shot of mom and the two other cubs coming back. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1472595501784-0W4DD3F6VA2OCCP7TQKU/IMG_8224.jpg Blog - Back to Denali, aka Biking with Bears. Meanwhile, Junior has slid down into the river. Here comes Mom to the rescue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1472595508144-04T5XHYHZP60UT3QOMPW/IMG_8234.jpg Blog - Back to Denali, aka Biking with Bears. Mom corrals Boo-boo but he scampers in front of her and gets swept up in the faster, deeper current. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1472595517836-IWLZLE920C82GVTPN9PC/IMG_8252.jpg Blog - Back to Denali, aka Biking with Bears. The other two have to get in the act, so all three cubs are now headed downstream in the swift current. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1472595527415-PDS2T93GUE6BA5W0QZJ6/IMG_8268.jpg Blog - Back to Denali, aka Biking with Bears. All four of them finally make it back to shore and the soggy bear family heads off uphill to the blueberry patches. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1472595401149-Q8YM89Y1CMBQQB6VNCM5/IMG_8175.jpg Blog - Back to Denali, aka Biking with Bears.

This is what greeted us our second morning as we biked five miles from Highway Pass over Stoney Overlook. Denali is out for us once again. Our luck has been incredible this year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1472595546843-D8PN0LYEDGRPMWH7VNY3/IMG_8330.jpg Blog - Back to Denali, aka Biking with Bears.

Our third day heading back into the park. Mom and twins at the top of Igloo Canyon. We're going to see them again just a bit closer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1472595674970-4C38DGYD5VIPOAJFKMRD/IMG_8368.jpg Blog - Back to Denali, aka Biking with Bears. Does a bear scratch in the woods? Yes, they do, on the nearest tree. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1472595600236-P9B614FD0QWW2YE2ZER5/IMG_8470.jpg Blog - Back to Denali, aka Biking with Bears. And now the fun begins. We've gotten off the bus again at the top of Sable Pass and are biking down towards East Fork. We come around a corner and Devany sees just a hint of blond and brown fur and thinks it's a Wolverine. Nope, that's a big bear, and it stands up and sees us. It's only about 100 yards off the road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1472595707263-HNB2312DG3C4IW2M278J/IMG_8478.jpg Blog - Back to Denali, aka Biking with Bears. We had to run into the one really curious bear of the day. He heads down towards the road--and us--pretty rapidly. We're off the bikes and walking them down the road away from him as quickly as we can without running (that's the wrong thing to do). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1472595621601-QCW6TQM94P9SSLSM3XZA/IMG_8483.jpg Blog - Back to Denali, aka Biking with Bears. Mr. Curious bear has now decided that he really wants to see just what we are, so he's on the road hoofing it towards us at a good clip. That's a photographer's car in the background that came upon all this happening. We made it around a corner so the bear could no longer see us and we jumped on the bikes and sprinted as fast as we could to put some distance between us, always looking behind to see what he was up to. He must have got bored when he couldn't see us any longer and he got off the road. A good healthy dose of adrenalin for breakfast! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1472595673549-ZS2FLPQBOIA3PJGU57JP/IMG_8386.jpg Blog - Back to Denali, aka Biking with Bears. We made it down to the East Fork river bridge without any further adventures and found this scene waiting for us. Time to put the bikes on a bus and keep going. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1472595361415-VL0KSPKHV6LRT8Q6LOZE/DSCN0761.jpg Blog - Back to Denali, aka Biking with Bears. And here's what happens when my good camera died on me completely. We are biking from the top of Highway Pass back to Toklat when we see a different Momma bear with twins on a hillside below the road. We get off the bikes and watch them for almost a half hour and then she reclines back against the hillside and nurses them! We took these shots with Devany's point and shoot. They nursed for quite a while and then all fell asleep in the sun. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1472595384717-OJ2NTUR42KXHOKK2T86Z/DSCN0794.jpg Blog - Back to Denali, aka Biking with Bears. So we're on our last bike ride of the trip, heading down from the top of Sable Pass back to the Tek campground one last time when we come across Mom and twins in Igloo Canyon. They're right off the road. We get off the bikes and all three of them are standing up looking at us, and Mom starts to head our way. Luckily, we've just gone past a maintenance crew working on a road grader, so we walked the bikes back to them and watched these three from behind their pickup truck. They finally lost interest in us and headed up over the ridge. Whew. Time to head back to the campground. That's enough close encounters for one day. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1472595376011-F0CXWTW9CH3Z0EWCAIO1/DSCN0803.jpg Blog - Back to Denali, aka Biking with Bears. A quick stop at Igloo Creek for the scenery and then we pedal back to the Tek campground for the last time. What a trip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1472595361359-U9BMXUA799MEDQ3WSS25/DSCN0735.jpg Blog - Back to Denali, aka Biking with Bears.

Just past the summit of Sable Pass, Denali teases us with a glimpse of the North Peak through the clouds. A mile down the road is where the magic really happens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1471138900046-INP6IPC3YAEVR4IET674/IMG_7843.jpg Blog - Wolves in Denali National Park. - And then this magical moment. Devany's nephew, Gage, saw movement on the top of a ridge, and we couldn't believe our eyes. It was a couple of wolves. And then it got really interesting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1471138127270-UDV4X2JQE8NBWWBPL81I/IMG_7850.jpg Blog - Wolves in Denali National Park. - A wolf pack with young pups Suddenly more wolves appeared on the ridge, and it was apparent there were young ones. We were stunned. We were trying to count how many... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1471138224135-XUPXM3L9SYVHWD5FNL89/IMG_7852.jpg Blog - Wolves in Denali National Park. - The whole family. when they finally spread apart, we could make out six pups! There were two adults over to the left, but I only ever saw the one on camera, but nine wolves in total. We watched them until they finally disappeared over the ridge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1471138980123-BMBZD7NX0R6ADH9AXEOM/IMG_7858.jpg Blog - Wolves in Denali National Park. - Denali begins to really show off. Only around 30% of visitors to Denali National Park actually get to see the mountain while they're inside the park. Our family from Florida joins the group. That on top of just having joined the approximately 4% of visitors that have ever seen a wolf. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1471139782030-4NXQEMK2S0RPBWOJK8DO/IMG_7881.jpg Blog - Wolves in Denali National Park. - Stoney Overlook.

One of the ubiquitous green shuttle buses. These are your magic carpet into the park. We put the mountain bikes on the front and off we go to the top of a pass, get off and ride to the bottom--then do it all over again :) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1471140749836-JXM1UET0CBE3MTDRHPZC/IMG_7892.jpg Blog - Wolves in Denali National Park. - Denali from the Eielson Visitor Center. Doesn't get much better than this. By the way--Denali is still 33 miles from where I'm taking this picture. That's how big it is. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1471140881608-98GFNB5XN8ZZIC2VV18G/IMG_7905.jpg Blog - Wolves in Denali National Park. - Caribou horns and Denali.

We were mountain biking back to the Toklat River, when we stopped for awhile to scope the hillsides for bears. We heard a sound behind us on the park road and found this guy walking directly towards us. He finally stopped and looked when he heard the camera shutter, then casually turned around and headed back down the road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1471141309553-UV9T4UJ8JE9VEJMJGKPY/IMG_7977.jpg Blog - Wolves in Denali National Park. - And now it's time for the "oh shit, it's a bear" moment Devany's nephew and I were biking back to the Tek campground late in the day and were half-way across the Tek river bridge when a bear came up out of the ditch! I thought for sure she was coming across. We dropped the bikes and got the bear spray ready as we slowly backed up, but luckily she turned back and moments later we saw a second bear move up the hillside with her to eat blueberries! We sat and watched them for a long while. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1471137749655-FWW274HCN6KTO6AI2XW1/IMG_7989.jpg Blog - Wolves in Denali National Park. - No, don't come back down to the bridge! Mama bear headed down hill for a bit, but luckily went back https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1471137754746-VCP8EEL2HOQYEN838U2W/IMG_8009.jpg Blog - Wolves in Denali National Park. - 2nd day as good as the first. Devany and I sent her brother and nephew off to climb a mountain while we mountain biked the park road again. Scenery like this greeted us at the Toklat River. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1471137768009-Y8SGOTN2VC72OD86D5MX/IMG_8014.jpg Blog - Wolves in Denali National Park. - Tundra cotton. There were patches of this plant everywhere. Looks like something that would be in a Dr. Suess book. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1471137937321-6ZEQ3MQKD24QQXOSKRS0/IMG_8028.jpg Blog - Wolves in Denali National Park. - Mama bear and cubs. We spotted this sow and two cubs on the hillside near the top of Highway Pass. Being on the bikes instead of the shuttle buses let us sit for almost an hour and watch them. The cubs were boxing and playing and then sprinting to catch up with Mom who just kept eating her way across the blueberry fields. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1471137808406-CWKVFX1ZZWULQ56L90RG/IMG_8034.jpg Blog - Wolves in Denali National Park. - Caribou meets bears. A funny moment while we're watching the bears. A lone caribou comes along the hillside headed straight for the little valley they're hidden in. He must have smelled them, because he suddenly stopped, spotted them and bolted back in the direction he had come from. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1471137822004-HUHFW7KDFQUMWIOWLVIR/IMG_8047.jpg Blog - Wolves in Denali National Park. - Let's play find the bear. This is what it can be like trying to spot bears in the park. Can you see her? Her two cubs are in the shot as well, but really hard to see without binoculars or a long telephoto lens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1471137837373-YOIPR8USW92PHD7XMSPU/IMG_8062.jpg Blog - Wolves in Denali National Park. - A final animal goodbye. As we were driving out of the part on Friday morning, we had to stop and wait for this group of caribou to finally cross the road and let us by.

Luckily a shuttle bus comes along, so unlike the encounter last fall, this one is not a problem--except for the fact that now Devany is coming back up the road but can't see the bear. She finally gets to the bus okay, I took a couple more pictures and we decided to put the bikes on the bus and ride down to East Fork.

This cow moose was way, way up high in Sable Pass, much higher on a steep hillside than we've ever seen a moose before. She got up and that's when we saw she had newborn twins. The next afternoon friends of ours watched a coyote try to get at the calfs in the exact same spot. Mama drove the coyote off. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1464729273441-W64KKT6NCU3330JU29CL/IMG_7183.jpg Blog - Memorial Day 2016 Denali Trip, or Meals on Wheels, pt.2 :) - Denali gymnastics Devany just had to get a cartwheel in to celebrate the gorgeous weather. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1464729284669-MI8W25TL8T0OV9MZKKBQ/IMG_7196.jpg Blog - Memorial Day 2016 Denali Trip, or Meals on Wheels, pt.2 :) - Dall Sheep Hanging out at Polychrome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1464729291536-VFKOFP6NN78D9INYR93K/IMG_7206.jpg Blog - Memorial Day 2016 Denali Trip, or Meals on Wheels, pt.2 :) - Dall Sheep #2 Probably the same group the next day in the same general area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56999293c21b86e3d565aee3/1464729295088-AX8OYJNQG42AFNK67W71/IMG_7211.jpg Blog - Memorial Day 2016 Denali Trip, or Meals on Wheels, pt.2 :) - Coyote on the prowl. Our last day in the park. We ditched the bikes on Sunday and walked instead. After about 10 miles during the day we're beat, so we jumped a shuttle bus and were heading back to camp when I caught a glimpse of movement a couple of hundred yards out. It was a coyote. Probably the same one that had been going after the moose twins the day before.
