Sandi and I seem to be addicted to the endless, expansive, inimitable and inexpressible natural beauty of Alaska. We can&#8217;t get enough, so we keep going back for more. Not a bad addiction!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">We did the Inside Passage again, but this time hit some spectacular areas we hadn&#8217;t seen before. But the prize was getting into the interior of Alaska and journeying up by rail to Denali National Park and taking a tour bus almost 93 miles into the park itself to the end of the road. Not only did we see Denali (formerly known as Mt. McKinley), the highest mountain in North America and third tallest peak on the planet at 20,320 feet or 6,190 m), but we experienced, what I&#8217;m dubbing, the Noah Anointing\u2014the animals came to our tour bus ark of safety including many grizzly bears! More on that later including photos and videos of bears, moose, bighorn sheep and caribous up close\u2014only feet away! Suffice it to say, Yah blessed us immensely. Did I mention the epic glacial calving we experienced in Glacier Bay? Again, stay tuned for pics and vids.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Here are several teasers that I snapped with my iPhone. We had five cameras going!
