Bad news: The wind picked up last night and it's windy and overcast in Denali.
Good news: The wind cleared out the smoke so Denali should be more enjoyable.
Yesterday we got a good view of Denali mountain from the Eielson center. Visibility is rarely good in the summer because the mountain creates it's own micro climate. The view was gone as we left.
Animal viewing has been limited perhaps to the late spring and rain. We were very fortunate to see a red fox, 3 bears and a snowshoe hare up close. We did see 3 other bears, caribou, dahl sheep and a golden eagle but they were a long way from the road. The red squirrels were around.
