In the dwindling evening light, a red fox yawns on a snow bank near the main park road up to Paradise. Park Service ranger Glenn Kessler says he has seen the fox before and thinks the animal has become accustomed to being fed by tourists. The main park road was closed for six months this winter, and Kessler says the animal likely had been looking for a handout.
