We hopped on the bus to the sled dog demonstration. We got to walk around and pet the dogs and then listened to the rangers talk about how the dogs are still used in the park to help deliver supplies to remote cabins. It was very interesting and the girls loved the dogs.
After our visit to the National Park we decided to check out our campground. We were disappointed to find out that we weren’t allowed campfires in our area (they only had group sites). So we decided to go to a restaurant at one of the nearby lodges.
We picked the fanciest one we could find and trooped in smelling like campfire, bug spray and who knows what else. The dining room wasn’t open yet so we enjoyed appetizers in the bistro next door. Mom loved the bagels, cream cheese, capers and Lox (smoked salmon) combo and we got to try the Alaskan King Crab Legs. YUM!
After that we were seated in the restaurant and we had a wonderful supper, Mom and Dad had seafood. It’s so much better when it’s fresh!
Considering that we were at a wildlife rich National Park, we didn’t
see much wildlife. We did see a few squirrels at the dog show and we are pretty sure one of them was a Northern Flying Squirrel. We also saw a moose in the river by our restaurant.
