Denali animal stories number 1: The wolf problem



We were able to get reservations for the popular Teklaneka campground inside Denali park. Closed to tent camping for 9 years due to a pack of badly behaved wolves, this was the first season that tenters were allowed in. Our camp hosts reported that in May they saw many wolves and proof of wolf activity: piles of showshoe rabbit feet with the rabbits chewed off. By the time we arrived in August, the troublesome wolves had been run off by a posse of grizzly bears and the campers and bunnies were safe.
