Last weekend Emily, Justin, Ben and I took a trip down to Denali National Park. We saw three moose, a bunch of ptarmigan and a lynx!! Thankfully we didn't run into any bears, but we had the bear spray ready!! The weather didn't end up being the greatest the second day...we ended up running into some rain/blizzard showers (somehow I think that is the best way to describe). We did a short hike up a small mountain. We were able to drive about 30 miles into the park. When the park is fully open, cars can only go about 14 miles into the park and you have to take a bus into the rest of the park, so it was cool being able to drive!
Emily heads back to the east coast tonight :(. We went out for a really nice dinner at the Chena Pump House last night for a "cousin date". I am certainly going to miss having her up here...we had a great month together!! :) Here are some pictures from this past weekend in Denali...
