5 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.

You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Denali Highway and Denali State Park. Get out of town with these interesting Denali National Park and Preserve side-trips: Talkeetna (Alaskan War Veterans Memorial & Byers Lake). Spend the 19th (Sat) exploring at Wonder Lake. Spend the 20th (Sun) surrounded by wildlife at Kantishna Wilderness Trails. There's more to do: stroll through Savage Alpine Trail and look for gifts at Wild about Denali.
