[Alaska ❥Denali National Park] I stepped on a wave of mountain bikes on a whim. The slope was steep and windy. I met a lot of deer on the road. Every time I heard the footsteps, I used to turn back and say hello. Here, I turned back and a big thing than me stared at me directly. I really didn’t dare to move. It feels like the antlers overhead can skew me up for a skewer
It is recommended that you go to Dinade National Park in summer. The park is quite big, but in addition to snow or snow in the winter, we only choose to pass by and not go in. It is absolutely great to see the snow, but I want to see more scenery. I still have to come over in summer.
Such a beautiful place, so few people, it is too cold, otherwise it is quite suitable for living
Those who first visit Alaska will include this famous national park on their itinerary, and lucky enough to see the full view of Mount McKinley, without a hint of cloud covering it. Lucky bought the 11-hour park Shuttle Bus at the park's CENTER one day in advance, mainly sitting in the car to see the wildlife found along the way, the end is WONDER LAKE, and then return, it is said that at a certain location, the park can see the reflection of the mountains, but unfortunately I did not see it.
The park is very large, your car can not drive in, can only take the shuttle of the park, we chose the car to the wonder lake for 11 hours, a total of 85 miles, McKinley Hill is faint, see a general, the park has seen a lot of various wildlife. Grizzlies, reindeer, elk, all kinds, originally booked a small plane tour, because the weather was bad canceled, some regrets.
Dinali National Park is located at the northernmost point in south-central Alaska, and the park not only has the highest peak in North America, McKinley, but also the endless scenery of the sky and water. Every summer, Dinali National Park welcomes countless visitors, you can take a small plane, bird's-eye view of the first peak of North America, or you can choose to land at McKinley Mountain, close to this kilometer above the snowfield. Dinali National Park also has a large number of wildlife, visitors can take the park's shuttle bus, deep into the park's 100 km of Wonder Lake to explore the wildlife trail. This is an unforgettable journey of reindeer and brown bears along the way, and the McKinley Peak is close at hand.
