Denali Grizzlies




Wednesday, July 20

Along the way to the Eielson Visitor Center we saw 5 different grizzlies. One of them delayed our bus for about half an hour. We caught up to him near the Toklat River crossing as he was ambling along the road. It's park policy to not disturb them by trying to pass or force them off the road, so our bus an another one played leapfrog for a while giving everyone a chance to take photos.

























He finally shuffled off to the side of the road, where those of us on the left side of he bus were able to take more pictures.

















On the way back from Eielson we saw another down by the river.

That's about as close as I'd want to get to a Grizzly Bear - glad you were in a big bus.
