All of the characteristic landscapes are present: Far open terra, mightily range of mountains, bushily taiga, bleak tundra and rambling glaciers. The rich animal life enthuses most: Bears, moose, caribous and mountain goats.

Our second day at Denali N.P. We hike from Denali Visitor Center to the Horseshoe Lake, an idyllic lake encircles by sitka spruces. After it we launch out into a little hillwalk onto Mount Healy.
