chased by bear - while walking towards the car park from the tour bus drop-off location. it was a black one, vegetarian i believe (it was eating leaves). picked up my 4-year-old and ran for my life. Later told that he was a kid and harmless, often found roaming around. Denali offered one of the best wilderness experiences to me.

Greetings from Denali National Park & Preserve
Denali National Park was a breathtaking experience. The views of Mount McKinley are one of a kind and the wildlife in the park is incredible to see. I was fortunate to see Grizzly Bears, Wolves, Moose, Caribou and many other animals while touring through the park. Truly an incredible experience…
