Truly awesome today. Denali showed itself completely in all its glory. First time in 2 weeks. So the top we saw yesterday was just the prelude.

The weather is amazing. Sunblock on. Sun on Alaska Range and snow truly magnificent and photos don’t do it justice.

Mark climbed Quigley Ridge this morning behind the lodge while I went back to Wonder Lake hoping to see Mr Moose again (no luck) as well as get Denali photos.

Relaxing afternoon beside the fast flowing Moose River, sun glinting on the water, bird life and a cheeky squirrel. Only a few of us in the lodge at present so very quiet and retreat like. 2 buses arriving later tonight and 4 for lunch tomorrow for their busiest day so we will escape the rush on the 6am bus in the morning in time to catch the train to Anchorage.

Sunset tonight is 11.43pm and sunrise tomorrow is 4.35am! Overcast now but last night we still had bright sunlight at 11pm. This photo taken then.
