on the drive into Denali national park we were greeted with great views of Denaliin person. this pic is just too far,Denali is in the background, it is still hundreds of miles away and you have to fly in on a bush plane to get near the base and climb, there are no roads or trails.....

then we went to hike at savage creek and just past the trailhead we saw three GRIZZLY BEARS! It was so awesome. a mom and her two cubs, my mom was the one that spotted them in the bush and then they came out on to the snow so we got a great look.

after that we hiked up part of Mt. Healy, my parents were troopers and made it to this bridge crossing where the water was flowing underneath and still frozen above the bridge. you had to jump to get over it, they decided to turn back....
