Denali National Park and Preserve
Backcountry - Parking
In 2010/2011, if you have a personal vehicle:
  • Vehicles left unattended overnight / multiple nights must be left in the Wilderness Access Center (WAC) parking lot, located immediately adjacent to the Backcountry Information Center (BIC).

  • If that parking lot is full, you will need to use the RV parking lot located at the Denali Visitor Center, located about 0.5 miles (1 km) from the BIC. You will then either walk or catch a courtesy shuttle to the WAC.

  • If you are taking your vehicle into the park for a stay in Teklanika Campground or Savage River Campground before your backcountry trip, you must drive back to the park entrance and then obtain your backcountry permit, plan your trip, and purchase a camper bus ticket. Vehicles may not be left in any campground unattended overnight.
