We left Kodiak Island and did a 2 day overnight sail to Seward. Shortly after our arrival we packed up and hired a rent a car to explore Alaska’s Interior. We stayed at Denali Educational Center which is just outside of the Denali Park and shares the same environment and wildlife as the park. I highly recommend a visit and stay at Denali Educational Center. The Center is run by Naturalists, they specialize in learning vacations, and it’s on the river. We did walks on the premises and enjoyed the spongy bouncy Alpine Tundra of the forest. Walking on tundra should be on your bucket list, I can’t wait to do it again! The Tundra biome is full of so much life, when you look down it is covered in multiple types of moss, grass, lichens, and flowers it is just amazing. Denali has hundreds of wildflowers in bloom in the summer, I hope you enjoy looking at the flora we saw in Denali.

Such a myriad of different blooms! The cow parsnip looks like queen ann's lace to me -maybe they're the same. Edible root? Or only if you're a cow? :-)
