Furry rangers Rangers and dogs work together to demonstrate a traditional Alaskan mode of travel. These unique, 30 minute programs include an opportunity to tour the park kennels and visit Denali's Alaskan huskies. Free buses leave the Denali Visitor Center for the kennels approximately forty (40) minutes before each demonstration. No parking is available at the kennels, so please plan on using the buses or walking the 1.5 miles from the Denali Visitor Center to the kennels. Some seating is available for the demonstration, and there is plenty of standing room. Programs are given rain or shine, so be prepared with an umbrella or rain coat if skies look forbidding. No fees or reservations, for either the bus or demonstration, are required. Demonstrations are given three times daily in peak season, at 10 am, 2 pm and 4 pm. The 10 am demonstration will be offered May 20 - September 16, 2013 The 2 pm demonstration will be offered May 15 - September 16, 2013 The 4 pm demonstration will be offered June 1 - September 1, 2013 Click here to learn more about the park kennels |
