After an evening of rain, we woke up to a misty, cloudy, cool Alaskan day. No problem, we have Cabelas rain gear! At milepost 15, we were dropped off at the Savage River Trail. An easy stroll along the Savage River with a variety of wildflowers. Plus we saw Dall's Sheep and snow!
On the right hand side, that white stuff is snow!
After a break of hot chocolate and tea at the visitors center, we hiked to Horseshoe Lake in search of moose. We heard a moose had been spotted there. We didn't see the moose, but we did spot a swan.
We spent about 9 hours on foot in the park. Even though it was cool and cloudy, we really enjoyed the hikes.
While on the Savage River trail, a couple asked us to take their picture. "To show we actually used all this stuff!" It looked like the couple walked into REI and said "Hey! I'm going to Alaska. What do I need?" They were decked out in Patagonia rain pants and jacket, as well as a hat, boots and gators, back pack, hiking poles, water bottles, and of course a fanny pack. The salesperson had a field day with this couple. I wonder if they ever went hiking again?
