The group the day before us didn't see a single moose, but our venturing out at the crack of dawn was rewarded with at least three different moose sightings which included a pair of bull moose to make it four moose total. (Apologies in advance if all of the photos don't post.)
We have just returned from a 3 day "Staycation" venture to Denali National Park where we joined the Park's offered "Tundra Wilderness Tour" that takes one as deep into the Park as far as is possible by roadway aboard a specially equipped tour bus with a driver who narrates and uses a special camera to focus in on sighted wildlife which is then displayed on drop-down screens to assist the passengers in locating same.
While the majority of the photographed wildlife were taken as seen from the tour bus window, some of the Dall Sheep photos were captured off the bus with my SLR.
In this below video share one of numerous wildlife sightings just experienced while joining the Tundra Wilderness Tour at Alaska’s Denali National Park.
In this video also view the expansive wilderness setting as the pictured Moose ambles across the flora with a majestic mountain backdrop.
In addition to multiple other moose, from our tour bus we also viewed Dall Sheep, Caribou, Ptarmigan, Arctic Ground Squirrels, and a Red Fox

And here are some of the additional wild animal sightings there in Denali National Park as well as views of the Park's expansive wilderness settings as seen from the Tundra Wilderness Tour Bus:
Pictured here is the snow covered base of Mount Denali as seen below the billowing clouds:
Below pictured is Denali National Park's Savage River Campground located near the end of the 15 miles of paved roadway into the Park. Once the pavement ends only the Park sanctioned tour and shuttle buses are allowed to proceed deeper into the Park with a few permit granted exceptions.
In this below photo note the iconic rock feature which resembles the head of an American Native Indian. During my time as a tour guide in the 70's this was regularly pointed out but the resemblance is no longer mentioned or referenced in the printed or online descriptions. Instead it is suggested that, despite the irony, the locale may have been named after a John Savage who once hunted in the area.
This photo taken back when I was once a tour guide, and when the road into Denali National Park was open beyond mile 46, shows the view of Mount Denali as seen from Eielson Visitor Center located at Mile 66 into the Park:
