Another one of those days around here in real time…keeps snowing but then changes its mind to rain…and back to snow…so back to the Dempster where it was a picture perfect day!
The colour is really starting to show up – I bet a week later it would have been spectacular…
although you can’t get much more spectacular than this! Just one of the many little lakes along the route.
and now we are back on Tundra with the Tombstone Mountains in the distance…
another road side lake or pond
Chapman Lake…
and now back in Tombstone park.
Two Moose Lake – and still no moose – quite a few tourists though and lot’s of moose tracks…
still at Two Moose Lake….you can see the road is pretty darn good here…
further along we pulled into an old gravel pit where we had stopped before…there had been Willow Ptarmigan here on our previous trip and we had yet to see one this trip…
but then, suddenly one appeared on the road….
and then another….this one a male…
this leads to the question of ‘why did the chicken cross the road?’
well in this case it was because most of the family was on the other side! Here a young one…
some of the family…
moving off into the tundra
and disappearing in the vegetation….
I’m throwing this in…it was flowering in the parking area. I think it is a kind of sorrel but haven’t been able to ID it yet…
Now back to the look out just before the campground…the tundra is really starting to change colour now…I knew we were too early!!!!
We arrived at the campground mid-afternoon and were lucky to get a spot…we would spend the next day here so will save campground area photos for another posting.
