We spent the morning hiking along the Savage River and learning about permafrost with a naturalist.
I was thrilled to meet some new flowers. Here are a few. I only know the name of one.

In the afternoon we learned about the sled dogs that are used in the park. They are used instead of snowmobiles which are not allowed in a wilderness park.
They put on a demonstration run and it is clear how much the dogs love to work.
After supper we will learn about Denali in winter. What a great day.
Great shots and info. Wow! Those blueberries are really blue! They're the same shade as your jacket.
ReplyDeleteFYI - We saw an adult loon on our lake on Monday, but not since.
