We took this trip as an excursion and was excited to get to go see such scenic locations. We booked the afternoon trip and was disappointed. The trip was rushed due to it getting darker earlier in the evening. We were not able to stop to get some nice sunset pictures on the way back, but our driver was not willing to call over the cb and say we would be stopping to capture several sunset pictures. The last hour of our trip was in dark so we didn't see any thing except darkness. I feel like the cb narrative of the lead driver was good but getting back to where we started was rushed from the start of the tour. The landscapes we seen was beautiful and we did get to ride on the Denali Hwy.

Denali Highway Jeep Tour Disclaimer: Be aware this is a drive yourself trip. The vehicles are 4 passenger Jeep Wranglers. This tour takes you part way eastward on the Denali highway, the only way to get to Denali Park until the Park Highway was built. As it is 120 miles from east to west and only a gravel road, you really had to be determined to visit. They will pick you up at any of the major lodging spots in the park, or at their office on the "Boardwalk" across from the main lodging areas, then drive south on Park Highway to their boarding area. There you are processed in and assigned to the Jeeps, all different colors and with cute names like "Moose", "Carybo", you get the picture. Once loaded up a lead guide heads up the column while a co-guide follows in the rear. Each Jeep is equipped with a radio and the lead guide provides commentary about the landscape rolling past. What you see is dependent on the weather, you may see Denali, other mountains may have clouds obscuring their peaks, some ranges will have rain at one end and sunshine at the other. Alex and Nick did a wonderful job of keeping us together, finding wildlife, moose were sighted, but moved off before the entire column could view it. What was unexpected was the snack breaks, both in the middle and end, a nice touch. We were glad to have experienced it and would do it again when in the area. Now that you have read this far, note that if you do not wish to drive, have your booking agent make a request that you ride with a guide.

I hate to write negatively about this excursion, because all of the employees of the company were so very kind and competent, and I know that the excursions for the most part of the season would be worthwhile. However, we had been warned by two parties at our hotel, and didn't listen to them, so I am posting this so that others may be alert in the future. It was a very disappointing experience for us. Because we went late in the season (the end of August) and it was getting dark out early, the trip was unbelievably rushed. We were at the end of the caravan of five jeeps. From the very beginning, we heard, "We have to hurry; it will be getting dark soon!" over and over. By the time our jeep would arrive at a stop, we had hardly any time to relax and take pictures, The jeeps were, in our opinion, going way too fast for safety. We have had jeeps and have done off-roading for years so we were experienced with driving them. However, it was NOT comfortable bouncing along with the speeds we were doing on those gravel roads, which had a lot of washboard areas. We were worried about the other drivers and wondered how the company could put both their customers and their jeeps at risk. If you do want to take the Jeep Excursion, do an early morning tour, unless you go early in the season. So many more people could have enjoyed this tour, if it had been moved up earlier (even an hour would have helped) in the day. The Denali Highway IS beautiful, and the company planned a great route and had updated jeeps. The planned stops had bathroom breaks and even snacks. But the evening tour was not a leisurely sightseeing tour; it was a mad race. Even our driver said that he has been trying to get the "higher ups" to move the evening tour up to earlier in the day, and he suggested that we put this on Trip Advisor so that they may listen to the reviews.
