Denali National Park is an amazing, beautiful and expansive place. At over 6 million acres, the park is home to grizzlies, wolves, foxes, owls, hawks, dall sheep, carribou, moose, and, of course to the highest mountain in North America, Denali (Mount McKinley). Darcy and I decided to spend our 10th wedding anniversary visiting as much of the fine state of Alaska as we could see in 10 days. The Denali Park visit was at the start of the trip, as we flew in to Fairbanks, stayed overnight, and then took a very early morning train into Denali National Park. We spent a couple of days there before taking a train on to Anchorage and then down the Seward highway toward the cruise ship for the rest of our trip. The scenery and wildlife in the park was absolutely incredible. This photo was shot at one of our first stops just after sunrise, on a bluff overlooking the large prairie you can see in the photo. It was early September, or autumn for Alaska, so the colors were just about at peak. That is probably one of the best times to visit, for that very reason.
