Did you know that #VoyageursNP was home to a 19th-century gold rush? In 1893, there was gold discovered in the park, but the rush was short-lived, as the miners faced very harsh winters & there wasn't much gold found in the first year. ⭐️

A neat photo of some of the Half-Moon Pack pups from a few days ago! It has been a super busy week on the project but all for good reasons! We will share some more info about the Half-Moon Pack pups next week but figured this would be a good photo for a Friday!
