3 Incredible Wildlife Cams to Brighten Your Day
Ever what your trail friends are up to when you're not around? These wildlife cams shed some light.
As hikers, we often get to catch small glimpses into the lives of wildlife—but with the help of wildlife cameras, we get a chance to see that wildlife in a new light. Take a peek at the cams below to get your daily dose of cute and to hopefully learn a little bit more about the animals around us.

Annie, sled dog extraordinaire, recently gave birth to a litter of seven healthy and adorable pups at Denali National Park. Park staff set up a live cam in the puppy den to help spread the joy. Although these future patrol pups aren't technically wildlife—they're definitely worth a watch.
