Caribou

Caribou and Fall colors, Alaska.

Back from a quick trip across parts of the state in search of fall colors.  We found some nice stretches along the Denali Highway – a road often confused with the road into Denali National Park.  This is an old dirt road that years ago provided access to the National Park.  It traverses a beautiful area, and in some years, the fall colors can really be amazing up there – endless stretches of bright, rich reds, yellows and oranges.  This year we found some nice patches, but nothing like what we have seen in the past.  Fortunately, this caribou choose to stand in one of the best patches!
