This day, according to Grady, was the best day so far. We spent the better part of the day in Denali State Park. Denali State Park is a six-million acre park that is home to many different animals as well as Mt. McKinley, the highest point in North America. We spend the day in and out of a tour bus riding through the park, watching for wild animals. We saw moose, caribou, grizzly bears, and dall sheep. Grady was glued to the window soaking in every bit of wild he could absorb. He has told us since he was able to speak, that he wanted to be an animal rescuer when he grew up, so this day was an obvious favorite of his.
After our tour of the park, a few of us did some hiking. My dad and I took the boys and their cousin up the mountain our hotel was built on. It was a gorgeous and terrifying hike. The nearly 360 views were amazing, but my heart was pounding being so out of control of my boys and their cousin as we walked along mountain paths with sharp drop-offs. Austin was pretty fearless and didn’t pay much attention most of the time. They both always wanted to take the most dangerous route and never really grasped the consequences of one missed step.
We got back to the lodge (finally) and took a shuttle over to the train station. The train took us from Denali to Fairbanks where we will spend the remainder of our time in Alaska.
