Golden Grizzly

We almost didn't go into Mt. Denali National Park. It was raining. It was cold. We got into town late. In the morning, the same. We almost talked ourselves into not getting on the bus. As we entered the park, the sun came out on a bright red and orange autumn world that had just been dusted with the season's first snow. We were able to see reindeer, bears, wolves, and weasels that showed up against the white snow. This grizzly looked up at the bus with a look of curiosity and wonder that reflected my own.
