We stopped at the Murie Science and Learning Center and caught the last of an interested talk on Denali Wolfs given by the Park's resident naturalist. The Q&A portion was as good as the talk. We toured the facility which was small but interesting. We also learned of a Ranger talk titled "A River Runs Through It" at one of the hotels outside the park at 3:30.
After a very heathy lunch of Starbucks and ice cream we headed to the McKinley Hotelo for the talk. Ranger Melissa talked about the various streams and rivers in the area and how some were glacier fed and cloudy and others were fed by rain and snow melt and were crystal clear. I also found out that there are 100,000 glaciers in Alaska.
Tomorrow we will be driving the Denali Highway which is 130 miles of bad road with spectacular scenery.
