I stayed in a lodge just outside the park for 3 days in July 1981 and never saw Denali. We took the bus tour through the park, though, and saw so much wildlife. The fog sometimes just rolled down the slopes and obscured even the grizzlies just at the wrong moments. Disappointing, but I think one would have to stay all summer to guarantee the weather you folks had!

Just saw your recent post on your plane tour. You got to experience Mother Nature up close. Ain't she grand?! Wonderful pics and narrative, Tina. Glad you made the flight safely. Those pilots have to have allot of experience with Alaskan weather and flying in the mountains.
