Yes, folks, she's a beaut! If you get here early (before 9AM) you do not need a special pass or permission. The sun rises at 5:30AM, so that's fantastic! We rolled into the park around 7AM. There wasn't too much of a line, and it went fairly quickly. We were told that it takes about 1 1/2 hours to drive to the other end of the park (provided you don't stop). But there is soooo much to see and take pictures of that you might want to give yourselves a few hours.

And of course, don't forget the magnificent flora and fauna who inhabit this glorious landscape as well:
elk ladies chillin'
Moose lady grazin' (I love her coloring!)
young buck drinking at a creek
Marmot munchin' on some yummy tundra vittles
We plan on driving back through; after all, our campsite is only 10 minutes away. And we are here the rest of the week. I think this park truly ties with my other favorites (Yellowstone, Tetons, Glacier). I'll leave you with this:
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art! <3
