| Artic Ground (Parka) Squirrel |
Most visitors who come to Denali National Park want to see the mountain, and the "big four" of the park's inhabitants: bears, moose, sheep and wolves. All worthy subjects of desire for sure. I'm the same way and I still get excited by the site of any of those. Being here all summer, however, has turned me onto the coolness of some of the smaller guys who live here. I now count myself a fan of the porcupine, marmot, squirrels and hares who share the park with the big four. And to be fair, some of the little guys have a bit more personality than their larger counterparts.

Walking through Riley Campground last night we ran into one squirrel who thought it would be funny to follow along just behind the dog. Champ knows he is not to chase the little guys, a lesson learned only this summer. "But gee whiz Boss, he isn't supposed to tempt me like this."
