We had been a bit disappointed that our day in Denali park had been so grey and rainy. We did get to see four of the big five animals - we never did get to see a wolf! But another thing that people always want to see is Mt. McKinley and we did not get to see that from the park. McKinley is so big that it is said that it "makes" it own weather - which is usually too cloudy to see the top - there are usually only 90 days a year that it is visible. We did get to see it from the air but even on our flightseeing, the top was hidden in the clouds. Today (Sunday) was a beautiful sunny morning but we had to load up and head back to Anchorage - Kathy and Mark had an evening flight. We were not really looking forward to the 6 hour drive (our trip up had been on a cloudy day and was pleasant but nothing spectacular. We were in for a terrific surprise! We hadn't been on the road very long when the mountain showed herself!
A picture never really shows what you see when you are there.
Great road trip!
