Bear Bonanza in Alaska - August 26 2008

While heading out of Denali, we focused on landscape pictures and happened to spot some moose. We also took a dog sled tour which dog lovers might enjoy. The sled demo lasts only a few minutes and the rest of the time, G spent petting the dogs. We enjoyed the long overdue shower and RV-cooked lunch at Riley Creek before we bid adieu to Denali. Unbelievably, we spotted another grizzly just outside the park entrance on Parks highway eating berries while causing a major traffic jam.

We stopped by Byers Lake and Lower Troublesome Creek hoping to sight some black bears. Even without black bears these were green beautiful places. As we passed Anchorage and started driving by the Cooks Inlet G was wonder struck by the cement colored ocean and beluga whales which appeared as white blobs in the gray ocean. We decided to stop at Birds Creek campground that night. It is a beautiful campground close to the sea but with not many views of the sea. We walked along the trail on the coast and had a rested evening.
