Denali National Park Touring
What could be better to add on to any fishing/adventure trip in Alaska than Denali National Park touring? The perfect combination for those that want to combine two loves, fishing/wildlife and stunning scenery. Your time in Denali National Park touring might be filled with scenic ATV and side by side rides, white water rafting, game viewing, helicopter glacier tours, fixed wing flights over Mount McKinley (now Mount Denali), traditional bus ride through the park, hiking and more. As you know, everything we plan is customized and we do not plan group tours only individualized itineraries built to meet exceed your expectations!
We will build your itinerary around our first hand knowledge of the area. Most people think of Denali and the bus ride through the park. We have seen so much more that this area has to offer. In a two night stay, you will be stunned at all you can enjoy. Alaska enjoys long days in the summer months which allow for more activities than you might expect.
Here is a sample of a Denali National Park touring itinerary:
Day 1: Arrive in Anchorage and settle into your hotel, enjoy some scenic white water rafting. Two levels are available, the first is more of a float with a few class 1 and 2 rapids and the other is true whitewater rafting with class 2,3 and 4 rapids.
Day 2: This morning depart by dome train to Denali with beautiful scenery along the way! On arrival after you settle into your scenic hotel, you will board your helicopter or fixed wing airplane to tour the area. On the helicopter tour explore beautiful scenery and land on a glacier. The fixed wing airplane flight will take you to see the magnificent Mount Denali! After that take a short hike to the mountain lake where you just might run into bears or moose at the lake! Dinner at your hotel or choose from a quaint inn or a well known chef’s restaurant from the show Top Chef.
Day 3: ATV or side by side rides in the morning on scenic back roads filled with adventure. This afternoon board your Denali bus to see the park and hope for a glimpse of Mount Denali, bears, caribou and sheep along the way.
