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.

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!

Teklanika River Campground
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.

There are moose!
We visited the sled dog kennel - met some of the dogs and got an informative lecture from the staff. Free shuttle bus took us as far as mile 15 into the park. Got lucky and saw Denali. Saw a moose and her calf as well.

I highly recommend that you go into the park do the bus I did not do it this time because I’ve done it numerous times before. But I went to the road up until the entry into the park and also went to the Denali visiting camp area I also camp at all the campsites up to this area. They’re all fabulous but very difficult to get unless you reserve in advance.

Untouched Magnificence
Denali is the most peaceful and nature minded park in the US. On one morning tour, we saw eight grizzly bears (at different times), a moose, a caribou, several ground squirrels, multiple variety of birds, and several Dall sheep. The only way to really see and keep this park pristine is to take a guided bus tour or use one of the park, buses to hike or as an employee. Nothing prepares you for the peacefulness and grand beauty.
