Denali National Park

Instead of the big bus tours, explore the park your way! Take a selfie at the park sign, explore the Denali National Park Visitor Center, tour historic buildings, venture down hiking trails, and visit the park’s own sled dogs at the Denali kennels. Traversing the the entire accessible road to the Savage River affords views of Denali (Mount McKinley) as well as frequent sightings of moose, caribou, bears, and a myriad of other critters. Expect a 40 mile round trip which allows extra time for exploring the park’s attractions.

Denali Highway

Before the “new” highway between Anchorage and Fairbanks was finished in the 1970’s, the Denali Highway stretching from Paxson to Cantwell was the only way to reach Denali National Park by road. Still just a seldom-traveled gravel roadway today, it is renowned for picturesque alpine landscapes and untouched wilderness. This scenic byway was recently ranked #2 worldwide as the “Drive of a Lifetime” by National Geographic Traveler magazine. Besides the ability to view Denali (Mount McKinley) from numerous points, travelers will likely see wildlife along the route. Expect an 80 mile round trip.

People were friendly, vehicles worked well but the pick up was in Healy which added at least 30 mins to the rental since the main attraction is south of Denali (Denali Highway). We got three flat tires, long story. They brought a second spare for the third flat to us. They comped us gas refill on two cars, close to a full tank comped. If you’re staying in Denali (near Denali Princess) a more convenient option would be across the road from Denali Princess.

The advertisement for this excursion gave the impression we would drive our own Jeep, off-road with a tour guide leading the way and radio'ing info to us, on wilderness trails and such. We were given a map & keys, and told to return the Jeep refueled to full, and sent on our way for four hours. There was no off-roading and all the places we ventured with our map, we had already been. We could have done the same things on our rental car. Basically rented another vehicle and wasted money. Of all excursions on our three city, almost 400 mile AK trip, this one was a huge disappointment.

Hi Robbie, thanks for taking the time to share your experience. I believe you may be confused with another tour though. This tour is the Self-Guided Jeep tour which is described on Viator as a tour to explore Denali on your own terms on a self-guided Jeep tour and this tour encourages independent travel and lets you take your 4WD Jeep Renegade on gravel roads for a true Alaskan adventure. In the additional info it is noted that this tour is intended to allow guests to experience seldom-visited locations and backcountry byways, but traveling off established roadways is not permitted. As highlights it does say that you will have a souvenir guidebook that provides suggested routes and that traveling on your own means you can stop whenever you want and never have to wait on other tourists. There is a fully guided Jeep tour in the Denali area that is a follow-the-leader type tour with many Jeeps down a gravel road with CB radio type communication. However, this tour you selected lays out and provides a self-guided experience for those looking for their own adventure to lesser traveled areas. We hope you had a great trip to Alaska and were able to take in some breathtaking views making memories to last a lifetime!

That was an amazing experience with the keep rental. They are very much professional. Kaden was so nice, he picked us from the hotel and we got the jeep from their parking lot. He gave us a brochure and explained to us that we can just go 15 miles of the Denali park with our jeep. No private vehicle can go beyond 15 miles. We enjoyed the drive plus it was a new jeep. We had a great time at each of our destinations. Our expectations were not more than what we got. We saw the Denali mountain views as well, but it was a bit cloudy. All inconveniences aside though, I am truly thankful to you for making this Denali journey easier for us.
