Day in Denali

Woke up at 5:30 to grab some breakfast and catch our bus into Denali. The plan was to ride along the entire 95 mile road and see wildlife and awesome views. We found over breakfast that it had snowed overnight and the road was closed from mile 30 on. By the time we picked up the other travelers, the snow had intensified inside the park and it was closed at mile 3! The driver cancelled our trip and left us very disappointed. We rallied and took a shuttle into the visitors center and by luck a ranger suggested we head up to the sled team demonstration. While listening about the dogs we caught a few flakes of wet snow, but it held out and we got a chance to pet the dogs and hear about how they are used for winter patrols. The ranger noted it is easier to start a husky when it's forty below and vehicles can't go into the wilderness areas. It's a 6 million acre park. We caught a movie about the park and grabbed some lunch and are hopeful we can go further in after lunch if weather allows! Photos will be posted tonight.
