Saturday turned out to be cloudy, chilly and misty - not the best weather for seeing the mountains and the critters of the Park. Our transportation was modified school busses - slightly more comfortable seats than the kids get! We saw 7 or 8 blonde grizzly bears, including mother and yearling cub pairs, a couple of red foxes, lots of snowshoe hares, and some caribou and Dall sheep very far way, but were a little disappointed not to see any moose or wolves.
Because of the clouds and mist, there was no chance of seeing Mt. McKinley, which can often been seen at the far end of the round trip tour, but the landscape was really pretty in a misty, mysterious sort of way. You can really see how the glaciers formed the area.
