Polychrome Pass, Denali


Denali. Imagine a wildlife park about the size of Massachusetts. And imagine it has only 93 miles of paved road, mostly accessible only by special bus tours. The wildlife is exceptional, and on our one trip we saw bears, moose, caribou, dall sheep, and ptarmigan. But as I thought about my pictorial memories of the trip I remembered a landscape more than anything. Polychrome Pass on a sunny Sunday in July.


We had seen Mt. McKinley on Friday and this vista on Sunday. Wonderful adventures were still ahead in Skagway, Juneau, and Ketchikan. More images to follow.
