Alaska 2004  --  Day 9

Day 9, Monday June 7 ~ Hiking in Denali

Again there was a choice of hikes.  The group we joined did a walk that started near the Wonder Lake campground and went to McKinley Bar, which is the name for the very wide and braided McKinley River below Denali.  Near the start we stopped at Reflection Pond for some outstanding views of Denali.  In the afternoon there was a talk about the weather and geology of Denali and in the evening there was a talk about wolves.
