Our First Moose

Day 22: Whittier to Talkeetna.
Docked at Whittier about midnight and disembarked around 6:30am. Went by train from Whittier, through Anchorage to Talkeetna and then by coach to Mt McKinley Lodge.
Taken from the train between Anchorage and Talkeetna. Don't know why we get so excited about seeing a moose. They are pretty stupid looking things.

It's just part of the all exciting package

Also by the internet video's I have seen, they can get quite shirty as well. I would rather the chocolate type of moose :)

[Sam]

When they have their magnificent antlers on............that's when we get excited!

[Martin Jalkotzy]

Oh, that's not fair....they are the most perfectly adapted critter for the northern woods!

[Shirley Banford]

Ooh, lucky you! Nice shot of him too.

[Poppo Livy]

@mjalkotzy Oops. I forgot about you Martin. My apologies to Mr Moose and I promise not to be so disparaging in future. :-)

awesome

[Denise Wood]

At least you got to see something different :)

[Tony]

Rough looking country, great shot from the moving train.

I suppose you get excited because you are seeing this chap in the wild. Nothing better than that. Well spotted.
