Denali Highlights: From the Park Entrance to Savage River

Denali National Park & Preserve

  • 2 - 6 hours
  • 6 tour stops

This self-guided tour combines driving and walking, and calls out the main sights to see within the first 15 miles of the Denali Park Road. The best time of year to do this tour is summer (roughly May 20 to mid-September), although many of the sights are worthwhile before or after those dates. In winter, however, most of the park's sole road is closed, so the sled dog kennels are the farthest point you can easily reach.
