| no partners | | Bear sighting! Yikes! I lived in Denali National Park for an entire summer and never had a bear sighting during a hike (though I saw grizzlies almost daily elsewhere). It freaked my hiking partner out more than it excited me, so we headed home quickly. We told a camper along the way who looked like a local, and his grandfatherly-but-bored look of "Aww, you saw a bear, that's great for you, so proud!" was amusing.
This is a gorgeous hike that follows the strong flow of Ptarmigan Creek. I was hoping to see moose. The black bear was an unwanted bonus. |
