Denali is alive













The flowers are in bloom everywhere you look and they are beautiful. The arctic alpines and the bluebells are everywhere in the Riley Creek campground. The other day we took a walk up the Savage River trail and seen windflowers, arctic sandwort, eskimo potato and also an arctic ground squirrel. The fireweed is starting to bloom too and will soon be everywhere you look. This is the first year we have seen this many flowers, they think it is because it is so warm here and so dry. We also are experiencing some wild fires here in Alaska and the smoke is filtering in to Denali.
