7am.
"Greta wake up!"
"Urgg...it's too early..."
"IT'S SUNNY!"
I shot out of bed like the van was on fire. 70% of the time Mt. Denali (otherwise known as Mt. McKinley) is abscured by clouds but today we actually had a chance of seeing it AND BOY DID WE! We not only saw the mountain but also grizzly bears up the wazoo, caribou, a fox, squirrels, and moose! Taking one of the shuttle buses about 80 miles into the park, we found a killer hike that followed a ridgeline with amazing views of the mountain. This was definitely one of the more memorable days of the trip. In the evening we met up with my coworker and his girlfriend at an RV park perched beside a river canyon.

The bears found me again
Perfect timing - just in time for him to take a leak

Fun with photos on our ridgeline hike 
We saw this little guy on our hike
