We were real lucky to see a mom grizzly with two cubs, maybe 3 months old - the 2 out of focus fur balls to the right of mom. The other wildlife were the snowshoe hares - a HUGE population explosion evident by the heavy gnawing on the willows above snowline and the numbers everywhere!, Dall sheep and Arctic ground squirrels and a mom moose with a young one. The other special sighting was a Golden Eagle being chased by a Gyrfalcon - an arctic bird larger than the peregrine. We have not really seen Mt McKinley but other views of the Alaska range leave little more to be desired.
