September 4th
We stayed at Riley Creek campground within the Denali Park. The overcast weather lasted the entire day. Starting off we went to the visitor center to finish exploring the exhibits. At 1pm we hopped on a bus that transported us to an old coal mining area, which was cut out from the park, to drive a side by side ATV. We were looking forward to this excursion when we were in the planning stages of this trip.
The ATV adventure was enjoyable way to spend 2.5 hours. Crawling up hills to overlook the town of Healy and rolling through a broken river left some mud on us. I attempted to take some footage with the go pro but keeping it steady was difficult.
After bussing back we ate lunch and went into the park. We decided to drive along the main drag until forced to stop around the 15 mile mark. During the drive we spotted a couple snowshoe hares and moose. We even climbed a rock along a trail near the Savage river to get a better view.
