This was an optional tour offered by our tour company. It was simply the best! From start to finish, some of the most fun ever. First, we were picked up at our hotel by a super personable driver who was happy to share facts and spin stories about AK as we went to the site in Healy. Then we were briefed, geared up and given a brief safety ride (very brief, very easy), and then we were off on a net work of trails climbing into the beautiful mountains just outside Denali National Park. Our guides/escorts were safety conscious but determined to let us enjoying this bumpy, muddy adventure. There were three stops along the way for photos, info/stories/legends. Two at higher elevations and one in a riverbed. It was a great, fun way to see a bit of Alaska and feel a little bit like a daredevil for a couple of hours. FYI, my travel buddy and I are both senior women, so don’t let age or gender deter you. Fun, fun, fun.
