TAKE PHOTOS — BUT PUT YOUR CAMERA DOWN, TOO Photographic opportunities are at every bend in the road as you travel through the park, and guided bus tours offer the chance to pull off to shoot — or simply admire — the magnificent scenery and wildlife. “Remember that inclement weather hardly makes for bad photos,” said Tohill. “People get discouraged about cloudy and rainy days for photography. But cloudy weather can give you better photos sometimes because there’s less contrast,” he said, adding that wildlife and wildflower photography in particular can benefit from an overcast sky. “Alaska’s long daylight hours of summer also provide photographic interest,” Tohill said. “The sun has a lower angle in the sky this time of the year, so there’s more of a sunset type of glow throughout the day.” “If you do see a grizzly or something else that captures your interest, by all means snap a photo of it — but also take the time to soak up the scenery without a device distracting you,” he said. “It’s easy to lose sight of what you’re out there to see and get caught up in your technology,” Tohill said. “Denali has larger than life landscapes, it will drop your jaw.” Freelance travel writer Terry Ward is based in Florida but is frequently on the road (or at sea!) to report stories.
