Denali National Park

It rained much of our first day in Denali National Park which was a mixed blessing as we spent most of the day on our tour bus riding along the park's nature trail looking for wildlife.  Our visibility of the mountains was limited; however, the animals come out into the open on overcast, rainy days as it is cooler for them.  We were very fortunate in that we saw several brown bears, numerous caribou, a dozen or so of Dall sheep, half a dozen moose and even a wolf.  Our pictures weren't the greatest as cell phone cameras do have limited zoom capabilities.  The bus driver had a powerful video camera which was able to get us some great views of the animals on video screens mounted overhead on the bus.  The rain did not dampen our spirits and probably made our day better than expected.
