Caribou along Denali Highway 5-12-2013

This past weekend we drove in on the Denali Highway from the Cantwell side about 70 miles before being stopped by unplowed road. We saw this lone caribou about 10 miles from Cantwell, merrily munching on roadside lichens. Most of the caribou have retreated back into the mountains already. We also saw a lynx cross the road right in front of us.
