When in Denali National Park in 2015 we had to wait several hours for the campers' bus at the visitors' center. We spent the time hiking the area and encountered this cow moose at Horseshoe Lake. We later heard that she had attacked several visitors but we had no problems with her though we did stay at a distance.

Since Mount McKinley has been renamed by presidential fiat, I thought I should post a photo from the park. I can't post one of the renamed mountain since we didn't see it, so this will have to do. This is Horseshoe Lake near the park entrance. We hiked there early in the morning as we waited for the camper's bus to take us to the Sanctuary River.

This is another photo of the cow moose we saw at Horseshoe Lake in Denali National Park. At this point the moose was feeding in the lake.

This cow moose was photographed at Horseshoe Lake in Denali National Park on one of the hikes we did while in Denali. We learned later that this cow had been hanging around the lake and had been very aggressive towards anyone who invaded her space. We were not actually as close as appears in the photo and when she moved in our direction we moved quickly away. Moose are often as dangerous as grizzlies and do not like people coming too near them.
