Next I finally got to see a ptarmigan and get a photo – was impossible on the bus in Denali. Other than Arctic Ground squirrels, that was the extent of the wildlife.
I would not have wanted to miss this drive! The scenery is outstanding. The variety of mountain formations is amazing. Unfortunately, we had clouds so photos do not do the views justice, but there is always the trip back in a few days!
Funniest spot….the colorful outhouses in the middle of nowhere with a hand sanitizer dispenser. The turn off to these was not marked so wondering if some type of gathering had been held here recently. There was even an opened case of toilet paper.
More scenery
Can you imagine how much mountain runoff there must be to need culverts this big!?
Red Creek – color from iron ore
And more scenery
Arctic Circle coming up!
We spent the night AT the Arctic Circle. For additional excitement at the Arctic Circle, I performed my first ever generator oil change! Whoo hoo!
My new friend – but I did not put the peanuts out for him!
Great photos and the sunset was spectacular.
