12 days in Denali National Park and Preserve Itinerary

The 2.43 million hectares (6 million acres) of Denali National Park include low taiga forest, high-alpine tundra, and snowcapped mountains, all of which lead up to Mt.

Venture out of the city with trips to Denali State Park (in Trapper Creek) and Talkeetna (Byers Lake & Alaskan War Veterans Memorial). Spend the 4th (Mon) exploring at Wonder Lake. Spend the 7th (Thu) surrounded by wildlife at Mc Kinley Park Rd. There's still lots to do: look for all kinds of wild species at Husky Homestead, see the world from above with a helicopter tour, head outdoors with Outdoor Activities, and admire all the interesting features of Denali Highway.
