We scheduled two days for Denali as it is a big part with lots to do. This way we did not have to race through and we’re able to see everything we wanted to.
We started with the visitor center which had a very informative and well put together museum. We learned about the animals and plants in the park, permafrost and native Alaskans.
We headed out to Park Road and our to Savage Creek enjoying the views along the way.
We hiked the 2 mile Savage Trail River. It was full of amazing views and a few birds. C got to do his favorite thing, throw rocks into water. A identified sounds for us. And everyone smiled and enjoyed the walk. That is until the last 100 feet when C fell and got a huge gash in his knee. The screaming was loud but everyone rallied together and cleaned and bandaged him up.
Since another hike was not going to happen at this point. We headed back to look through the gift shop. Then to catch the bus to the sled dog presentation. This was a lot of fun! Denali has the only National Park Sled Dogs. Pure Alaskan Huskies bred right at Denali. This is the main transportation of the rangers in the winter and they keep the park going year around. We got to spend some time with the dogs, hear a presentation, and then spend a little more time with the dogs.
We headed home for dinner and rest. Hoping the next day would not include any other injuries.
