At Denali State Park and Denali National Park we got to do a lot more wandering around in the woods, in addition to the Byers Lake Nature Walk and Denali Walking Tour we took.

There was also a Natural History Bus Tour through Denali, where almost as soon as we entered the park we mother moose and foals.

Further into to park I saw snowshoe hare.

And plenty of birds everywhere, but the only bird I got a half decent picture of was this magpie

On our hike we saw several Red Squirrels

And at the end of that hike we got to see a goshawk nest with babies (none of my pictures turned out anything but blurry) which according to our guide is very rare.

In Fairbanks, Tania took us to the UAF large animal farm where we got to see Musk Ox (they might have been one of Jules’ favorite parts).
