We had the most amazing tour. We were able to make the entire route and we saw all the major animals. Moose, Caribou, Wolf, Bears,Dall Sheep and a Golden Eagle. Plus we were lucky enough to have spectacularly cleat weather and saw all of Denali. It was the best nature trip I've been on. Denali National Park isn't a place you can visit in just a weekend or two. It has a wide range of activities to suit the taste of all those who venture out here. Notice: My review is based on summer trips and doesn't cover differences in winter. Denali is 7hrs drive from Anchorage (we flew in from there). Distance wise it's not bad, but the roads (in summer) are ALWAYS under construction from damages in winter, so expect bumpy sections and delays. However, the drive is super beautiful and give lots of photo opportunities. ACTIVITIES: 5/5 Hiking, camping...or take a plane up to the glaciers ($$$ but very pretty and not at all tiring). COST: 4/5 Multiple cost options here. Most basic is just entrance ticket, which will let you go on your own MAXIMUM to Savage River point. Lots of hiking and trekking opportunities here still. However if you want to go inside, to other famous points like Denali peak or Wonder Lake, you MUST buy a shuttle ride. Summer months sell out like crazy so PreBook tickets to be safe. Also note that they work like airplane ticket - with a timeslot and NO refund for missing your time slot. Shuttle ticket vary with your destination. Camping overnight needs additional permit. NOTICE: Some very pretty photo destinations will require you to camp overnight inside the park - we headed for Wonder Lake hoping to get that famous shot but realized the bus ride was 8hr one way + 3hr trek to that photo spot...was not prepared for it. Amazing! Clean, very few man-made paths, and must get pass to take the bus around as individuals visiting cannot drive in past the 15 (or 10?) Mile marker. Backpacking options galore! Amazing hike, didn't get to do the whole thing, but still great. Signs from the road could be more clear for hikers... We had a great time at the park and saw many animals. The park passes were just wonderful as they have TV screens were the driver can video any animal up in the hills and show it in real time. Princess does a great job with their land tours.
