We were given a "road lottery" ticket for DNP that someone else won - a last minute invitation on a Saturday afternoon that had to be used on Monday, 9/19. And we jumped! We drove up Sunday afternoon and stayed at a tiny park created by the Healy Lions Club on Lake Otto just north of the park. We ended up in the park and ready to start at 8:30 am, and we drove 66 miles into the park -- it was beyond stunning, and the pictures won't do it justice, but we'll post some of them here.
It took us about 3 hours to drive the 66 miles into the Eileson Visitor Center, and we took a hike up the mountain opposite -- quite a bit of snow on the ground and an unbelievable view. 3 hours in and 3 hours out, but we didn't see even one animal!! It was a trip not to be missed though for the stunning scenery - even for someone used to living here!
