Headed out early to photograph sunrise and more moose. Found a nice Bull Moose right after sunrise. We started the day with cloudy skies after getting a little rain last night so Mt. McKinley wasn't visible early. But by mid morning, the skies opened up and now for the 5th day in a row, we have clear views of the mountain. Took a few parting shots before we left Denali National Park to head south back to Anchorage. It was an amazing experience and we timed it just right with the peak of Fall colors. And were extremely lucky with the great weather allowing us to enjoy clear views of Mt. McKinley everday. Apparently only 30% of visitors are lucky enough to see the mountain due to it being in the clouds most of the time. We definitely consider ourselves lucky - what an unbelievable experience! We're camping at a RV park in Wasilla tonight and tomorrow we fly to Kodiak Island.
