Travelogue: Alaska Part Four

This has been a long time coming.  Life has a way of speeding up and catching me in the present with little time to reminisce on the extraordinary experiences I've had so far.  This is both good and bad in that I definitely want to live in the present and value life as it comes, however, I also want to appreciate and value everything I've been lucky enough to do.  Unfortunately as well, my present has mostly been full of work, as it's the busy season in the world of employee benefits insurance.

It's been nice to look back through these pictures and remember my last few days in Alaska.

Tour of mulit Iditarod champion Jeff King.  His dogs are incredible.

The dogs coming back from a run with the ATV.



Puppies!


Hiking.


Walking along the ridge line at about 9000 feet.

Bus ride into the park to see some wildlife.


Dall sheep.

The Iconic park photo.


Mama grizzly.  There is a little dark brown blog down to the left from her a bit.  That's one of two babies born this spring.


Second mama bear we saw.

Her two cubs chasing across the mountain to catch up.  They were born the spring prior.

Seeing grizzly bears in the wild was a dream come true.  Denali National Park does not disappoint.
