We drove from Wasilla to Denali National Park today. The girls have been wanted to go to the East Coast to Fall Color. Well, it is Fall here in Alaska, and the Fall colors are just beautiful. There are lots of reds, oranges, yellows, golds and green.
When we arrived in Denali, the first thing we wanted to see were the dogs used in dog mushing for maintenance of the park. In the winter, the park closes to vehicles and all back country is maintained by the park rangers using the dogs. We got to pet the dogs and see them in a demonstration race.
Next, we went to see the train that comes through Denali National Park. Then, we drove the paved portion of the road through Denali that they allow the public to drive on to the end of the road. The Fall colors were amazing. On our way back, we stopped to see the Savage River Cabin used for Sled Dog Patrols in Winter. Similar cabins are placed a days journey from each other into the park. And, we saw a mother bear with her cub.
For dinner, we attended the Cabin Nite Dinner Theater. They had a good comedy show feature the early pioneers of park era, and all you can eat ribs and salmon. The salmon was excellent. I got the recipe for the sauce!
