Today we were back into Denali NP; we got on the bus which takes right into the park as the park is basically closed to general traffic. We saw 3 Grizzly Bears along the way, with a 400 pound one walking around were we had to get out. So they dropped us off at another place for us to start a hike, it was supposed to be moderate and hours but ended up being 2 hours and difficult. This was due to the different starting point so when we got to the top we had lunch enjoyed the view and then went down the way we were supposed to go up. Mt McKinley was out periodically so we were lucky as the drivers had not seen it for the last 2 weeks. We got back on the bus and returned back to the visitors centre and then back to camp. I cooked dinner.

I am sick of the other 2 people already, I am sure they have worms, between them they will eat a loaf of bread a day and do not care what the rest of us will eat. Today we drove to McCarthy NP which is in the middle of nowhere and there are very few people here which is great. It was a long day’s drive so we had dinner and went into the pub for a relaxing drink.
