Did a glacial landing flight seeing. One of the best things I've ever done. We got to land at base camp and hang out for 20 minutes. We got very lucky for a clear day in talkeetna so we could see Denali from so far away. Absolutely awe inspiring. It's unbelievable big. Highly recommend seeing it from the air.
This relatively smooth campground was a good compromise between the super busy area near the visitor center, and the very remote Teklanika campground. We did have to drive down to the visitor center to get tge bus tour that came back up to here. But it was all beautiful so we didn’t mind. Our last evening, the clouds lifted and we could see Denali from the campground. Gorgeous!
Great way to stay in the park and catch the bus to travel in the park

Wow
Great views of wildlife. Amazing day hikes. Mountain tends to be shy but we saw it a few days later on skiplane trip

Conditions allowed us to see the mountain, albeit from quite a distance. Had an enjoyable visit. Maybe would take a fly over trip to see Denali up close next time. Stayed in lodging within the park but did not camp
Denali is amazing and wild! I love the way they keep this wilderness pristine and protected. Cars and visitors are limited - as it should be!
The wildlife is everywhere and it’s incredible.

Drive there, if possible!
Stunning! Worth driving- an experience I will never forget!
Highly recommend staying in Denali if possible. It made it so much easier to pop over to the bus depot. We did the shuttle bus tour and really loved it! We saw many grizzlies, some moose, ptarmigan, a fox, and lots of other wildlife!

A gift for the senses
It’s all soooo big!!! Enormous proportions and Beauty
Reservable campsite but first come first serve to actual site number. Must stay 3 nights to stay here. Cannot go back to park headquarters after picking site unless you buy another bus pass. Can only go deeper into park w Tek bus pass . Must keep vehicle on site for 3 nights or forgo site. Great hiking areas behind camp on river. Bears around! Sites not far apart but have enough trees to feel a little private. Camp host available.
