Denali National Park (2)
We took a bus the next morning that dropped us near Highpass, the highest point of the road. So we walked over seven hours in wildnature, first under the sun before rain in the afternoon. There are no trails, so we progress in the tundra and freely choose our way.
1. Sometimes, willows are several feet high. Progressing is not always easy but Mino keep smiling! 😀
2. clouds growing rapidely…
3. Berries are everywhere at that time of year, including blueberries that we gather throughout our journey.
4. Oh greedy!! 😉 (Well, I confess, me too! 😀 )
5. They are many ground squirrels that signal our arrival by their characteristic cry.
6. This powerful nature is just beautiful!
7. Atmospheres constantly change with the passing clouds…
8. Some flowers remain on the tundra in the late summer.
9. Rivers have formed large gravel bars by getting silt away from the glacier they flow from…
10. Meanders games…
11. The top of the mountains is mostly made from large colorful screes.
12. Plunging perspective…
13. Afternoon showers start again…
14. … and a beautiful rainbow emerges a few moments.
15. Fortunately, our rain suits protect us well!
16. While we join Teklanika by bus, we see this female moose.
17. Off the bus a few miles before the campground, we enjoyed the last sun rays going down the bed of Teklanika River.
So much for the second day. To be followed soon.
