We have spent 3 days in the park and had the most clouds since the start of the trip - to say nothing of the cold, daytime only in the 50s, if that with strong breezes! None the less we have had a full experience. The sled dogs are used for winter patrol, access and research in the Park. They maintain a 30 dog kennel and were a joy to visit, pet and learn about.We've hiked several of the developed trails around the visitor's area and taken the tour bus into mile 51, Tolkat which is as far as the road is open so far. The rest still needs to dry out. We could see why the road is not open to the general public - some STEEP in places. Along with caribou and moose, we were very lucky to see this Willow Ptarmigan. We had a steady rain on Fri night at Savage CG which turned into about 1" of snow by morning. The best thing to do was to curl up with a good book - #4 for Charlie!Fortunately, we did have partly sunny weather the day of our tour so, did bundle up and walk some on the way out.
