Denali National Park

--Current location Anchorage-- Denali National Park 6/28-7/2 We free docked at BLM land so that we were close to Denali to enter the park early on the 28th. We got to Denali National Park mid morning and got our bearings about our campground, bus ticket (can only access the park past mile 15 via park bus) etc from the visitors center. We then made our way to Teklanika campground mile 29 where we were going to stay for the next four nights. We hung around the campground prepping ourselves for an early morning the next day. 6/28 we took the Denali bus to Wonder Lake. This whole trip from our site to Wonder Lake (mile 100) takes a full day. Finn and Ailish were terrific having to spend so many hours on a bus. We lucked out with a great driver who gave us a good deal of information about the land and went out of his way so that we could see some wildlife. We saw two wolves (grey artic and black) which was rare since only 70 wolves live in the entire park. We saw Caribou, Moos
