But the fun does not end in the fall just because the cruise ships stop heading north and the hotels slowly empty out. Locals continue to enjoy the park even after the only road leading into the park is closed because of snow and ice. Once the road is covered by snow it turns into a two lane multi-use trail! Often groomed by the Seward Nordic Ski Club, locals will skate ski and classical ski along the road. Many will wear ice cleats or snowshoes or ride fat bikes to explore and give their dogs a run! Even local dog teams train along the trail. If you use your snowmachine (‘snow mobile’ for you lower 48ers) you can use the road to gain access to various valleys on the outskirts of the park.
