NP, Autumn was unbelievable. The
mountains and flats are blanketed in rich burgundy, intense yellows,
sparse brilliant orange and evergreen all merging with continuously
variable jagged and soft-dune peaks sporting chocolates, violets, stark
granites, bright white, blue and neutral slates. It's a week of
intense, fleeting beauty and we had nearly perfect weather, won't be
long before it falls away, but I think that's a crucial element
sustaining the intrigue. All of us were in awe, the bus tour went 12 hours,
3 hours spent walking around. Neither Haley or I had taken the tour
into the park yet so it was a new experience for everyone. We had a
few crystal clear views of Denali, saw 5 different grizzlies, one of
which I spotted through the trees, 4 fox, 5 Moose, a wolf, a
hawk-owl...
