Dream Trip 2009

Great Travel Moment

My husband and I visited Alaska to celebrate our anniversary, which included a day trip into Denali National Park. We had seen many of Denali's famous wildlife, but hadn't been able to capture a good picture of one of their grizzly bears. We had been conversing all day with one particular couple that sat in front of us, and the woman had barely finished discussing her disappointment in not getting a good photo of a bear, when we rounded the corner and saw a huge grizzly lying on the side of the road. It eventually got up, and to our delight walked back towards our bus. When we had finished capturing our photos, I leaned forward to ask her if she was happy now.
