Sandra ready for bears.

The bears were not ready for Sandra!

Now they are ready.

Waiting for my bear.

Bear food found!

Bear food: Blue berries, just imagine how many a Grizzly has to eat.

Tundra and to the north the trees get smaller. No bears, still waiting for my bear.

There he is, even posing for me. Find him in the big picture. This is a black bear!

Local advice when you meet a bear:

For brown bears (grizzlies): as long as you are not between a mother and her cups (see advice for black bears), don't run (they are faster than a horse), stay quiet and put yourself in a fetal position and pray.

For a black bear: donīt run and be prepared to fight. Praying will not help, they will eat you!

Tundra and to the north the trees get smaller. Real Moose country, Sandra saw one with a baby.

Luckely we were not prosecuted for loitering or vagancia. Read sign!

On the way back from Denali park we did some American tourism.

Las primas.

Many have float planes.
