polychrome pass

The highlight for me of the parks road bus trip was not the very plain bus accommodation or the clouds which obscured McKinley, et al.  Neither was it the caribou (huge antler racks) foraging in sable pass nor the Dall sheep high on the rocks visible near our turnaround stop at the foot of divide mtn.  It was the view of the Alaska range going up polychrome pass, which road was non too wide when meeting another vehicle. Perhaps we should have laid in another day, as we found the sun in the sky this morning following a twelve hour snooze. Its time now to fold the tent, which our host kindly let me stretch to dry in his garage/man cave before going in search of a mountain view.
