Moose are a part of living here in Alaska. We see them so often and I love to observe them. They can be troublesome however, I totaled my car on one back in 1998. I went up to Glenn Alps today to see if there were any moose up there. On the way there, I found this guy wondering around the golf course.
These photos are from Glenn Alps. There was one bull with a group of females around him. I hiked down to photograph a little closer.
This smaller bull came around sniffing at the females. The large bull quickly chased him off.

Every year the National Park Service gives out lottery tickets for people to drive into Denali. Last year I had great weather for the 90 mile drive to Wonder Lake. This year, it rained on me most of the day and the road was quite muddy. The drive is still wonderful, the scenery is spectacular even if Denali is obscured by clouds.
The road into the park
This is what most of the road is like. Incredibly, many people drove their cars deep into the park.

Termination dust on those mountains! It won’t be long.
Long, winding road
Grizzly dwarfed by the landscape
This bear was in the middle of the road as I came around a corner. He quickly moved away, it is amazing how fast they can move.
Weather moving in
I was hoping the weather would clear so I could capture an image of Denali. It was not to be.

This guy hung in there with his video camera. The caribou ended up taking a wide berth around him.
From the road
One of my favorite places on the road. Took a fantastic shot here last year.
Moose through the trees
Saw lots of moose, but I see them in my yard.
