August 6, 2008








We went to Denali over the weekend. It is a very nice park but it was raining so we didn't see as many animals as I wanted. We took the train from Anchorage to Denali. It is an 8 hour train ride. There is not much to see on the ride but the train trip was fun. We did see several moose (one with the biggest antlers that I have ever seen!!), caribou, mountain sheep and coyotes.

Upon our return to Anchorage we left for Valdez. There were some great waterfalls along the way here. Of course, it has been raining every since we got here. Valdez is a great town...wish we had the grandkids as there is lots of fishing.

Today we went to the a hydroelectric plant where so many salmon are going up stream. There are so many fish that you could almost walk across them. Farther downstream, we watched 2 black bears feeding. So great!! We also went to the Valdez glacier. It is so pretty.
