The wild beauty of ALASKA (continued, p.2) We arrived at the Hotel Denali Park, located in Healy, about 15 km from the park entrance. The hotel is cozy and inexpensive, and easy to find her in her office, which is located in a renovated railway carriage in Alaska. By registering, we went to our cottage to unload things. Nelya was not seen elk and year-old calf, which were grazing in a field adjacent to the parking lot. We were on them at a distance of no more than 50 meters, but they did not seem very disturbed by the noise of our cameras. In the end, moose are tired of this unplanned photo session and retired into the woods. We continued to focus on your luggage, but soon saw another moose that wandered into the undergrowth at the edge of the field. Elk from the front the first 25 km road at the entrance to the park are paved. Savage is a river checkpoint. For most visitors Savage River is an extreme limit to which you can move around by car. The exceptions are the winners of a special lottery to receive the appropriate permit. Once a year they are allowed to travel by car through the park as much as they wish, or weather permitting. In successful years to get to Lake Wonder Lake, located 140 km deep in the park. For a short time before the official opening and after closing the season in the park when weather permits and the state of roads, private transport are allowed to move up to the observation deck Teklanika, which is located about 50 km from the entrance. In contrast, residents of the camp across the river Savage, as well as scientists and photographers who receive special passes for ordinary tourists, there are limitations. In that part of the park, which lies across the river Savage can be reached only by foot, on a special bus (it can be stopped at any location) or take the bus along with a guided tour. (Then there are those who live in small houses in the commune Katishna, but that's another story. It is not necessary now to tell). and profile Special bus, which provides park was supposed to carry only the transport function, but the drivers are trying to make the trip more interesting, beckoning animals and staying in beautiful places. The bus can go where you like, take pictures, walk and enjoy the views. If you get tired of walking, just to "catch" the next bus, he'll always pick up if there are vacancies. Since we can take a portable fridge and excellent dinner in the woods. To our friend, Dick, we chose the Tour Tundra, which offered us the agency "Princess". Their coaches a little better than those that walk in the park. And those and others - school buses, but "Princess" chair softer and better ventilation in the cabin, so the windows in the cabin will not fog up during these cold days. As an added bonus, employees of "Princess" had promised to feed us during this 8-hour tour. We went back to Dick was able to look at the park along the road that are allowed to ride, and at the same time to visit the center to the tourists. Along the way we tried to make out the silhouettes of the rocks of wild Dall sheep, and in the forest tried to see the lost here caribou (North American deer, ca. Perevi.). By the time we turned around and started back, I even started a little worried that we saw not and will not be sent no representatives of wildlife. Really, we did not see anything except trees? Ahead, the roadside, stood a few cars, it was a clear sign that there is something going on. At the bottom of a dry riverbed slowly wandered big moose with huge antlers, stopping only for the sake of another portion of the foliage from trees. About a hundred meters away there were people, but to him they had no case. Moose was rather lenient in order to give us five minutes of your precious time. We, of course, not wasting any hard and it photographed. Start material: Read more:
