What To Expect

George Parks Highway

The ground tour will be south from Fairbanks on the George Parks Highway.

Nenana

The tour will visit the rural community of Nenana situated on the south bank of the Tanana River - Nenana serves as a regional transportation hub with river, rail, highway and air access. The strong threads of Tanana Athabascan culture and subsistence lifestyle running through the community lend Nenana the special feel of a "bush" village located on the road system.

Healy

Pass through Healy - nestled on the northern edge of the Alaska Range, Healy serves as the gateway community for Denali National park.

Denali National Park and Preserve

Arrive at Denali National Park -- the Murie Science and Learning Center provides the perfect base camp for exploring Alaska's best known national park (access is limited currently during covid - but is used as a resting point with what we can access). Enjoy the quiet beauty and solitude of a winter landscape blanketed in snow. Learn h ow plants, animals, and humans adopt creative strategies to survive the extreme winter cold of Alaska's Interior. Enjoy a short nature walk or snowshoe to see up close the beauty of the park on a short nature trail. This is a soft tour experience not an adventurous hike.

We had a fabulous day with Mike. He was very knowledgeable about the area and we enjoyed the ride to Denali very much. He took time to stop and point out interesting things along the way, as well as some great scenic views. Once inside the park we really enjoyed the snowshoe excursion and hike in the snow. We also loved the train ride back. This was a highlight of our trip!

Norm, our guide, was a friendly and knowledgeable source of information about Alaska, Denali, and the activities of Alaskan residents. He had a ready answer for almost any question. We were fortunate to see two moose along the drive. He shared photos of some of his activities (fishing, float plane, more), talked about trapping. At Denali, he led two walks, one shorter and one longer, for those in the party who wanted. He took one of our party back to hotel at the end of day to save a taxi fare. Great way to see and learn about interior Alaska and visit near one of our important national landmarks!
