If Denali isn’t on your ‘must-visit national parks’ list, it really should be…<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With rolling tundra, stunning snow-topped peaks and brilliant wildlife spotting opportunities, Denali National Park is a dream for nature lovers and adventure seekers. From glacier trekking to chasing the northern lights, here are some of our favourite activities to inspire your next Alaskan<\/a> adventure to Denali National Park. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. Spot wildlife<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Denali National Park has its own big five: moose, caribou, Dall sheep, wolves and grizzly bears. Wolves can be elusive, but you’re likely to cross paths with moose and Dall sheep on the trails. The best time to spot a grizzly or black bear is between May and mid-September when they come out of hibernation. You might also see them hunting for fish or roaming the tundra in search of fresh berries. You\u2019re never guaranteed to see wildlife, but you have a pretty<\/em> good chance in Denali.\u00a0And don’t worry, there’s no need to be nervous about encountering one of Denali’s inhabitants \u2013 with a local expert by your side and the safety of a small group, you’ll be in good hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Go deeper into the park <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can only drive a private vehicle 24 km into the vast park, but you can take official National Park Service buses deeper into the park for more opportunities to spot wildlife and see the dramatic landscapes. On an ‘Alaskan Safari<\/a>‘ on the Tundra Wilderness route, you can head out to mile 43 of Park Road with Denali towering in the background (on a clear day). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Go river rafting <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chill out on a relaxing river journey or get your adrenaline fix as you rush through the white water rapids of the Nenana River through the heart of the Alaska Range. Whatever rocks your boat, river rafting is a great way to soak up the beauty of the surrounding peaks and catch a glimpse of wildlife hanging out by the riverbanks. Prepare to get splashed and have a lot of fun! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ranger-led programs are a great way to learn about the parks you visit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Visit Eielson Visitor Center <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take a trip to the Eielson Visitor Center for some of the park’s most impressive views of Denali. There are also daily ranger-led programs, which are a great chance to speak to the rangers and pick their brains about the park, its history and the wildlife that call it home. Every day, the park hosts sled dog demonstrations for you to meet and learn about the hardworking four-legged team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Camp in the wilderness <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From breathing in the fresh mountain air to listening to the peaceful sounds of nature as you go to sleep, there’s no better way to immerse yourself in the Alaskan wilderness than camping under the stars. There are six campgrounds in Denali, and most of them are only open in the summer months. It’s best to book a site online in advance as spaces fill up in the peak season (June to August). If you’re worried about campgrounds filling up, you can guarantee a camping experience in Denali on a small group trip<\/a> with Intrepid where you can hike and camp in the park with the comfort of having all the logistics taken care of for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

6. Hit the trails<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although Denali National Park is a whopping six million acres in size,<\/strong> there are only 35 miles of hiking trails to preserve the park’s natural beauty. You can always hike off-track, but you\u2019ll need to apply for a permit and complete a backcountry orientation at the Information Center to help you stay safe. From slow strolls along the Savage River\u00a0to strenuous hikes that\u2019ll get your blood pumping, the beauty of hiking in Denali is that you\u2019ll discover what \u2018wild\u2019 truly means no matter what trail you do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Get snap happy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Make sure you bring a spare battery because you won\u2019t be able to put your camera down. With beauty everywhere you look, Denali is a photographer’s dream. You could spend a whole day sitting in a camp chair taking photos of the mountains \u2013 there\u2019s a whole weather system up there and the views are constantly changing. Not to mention the abundant wildlife, mirror-like lakes and colourful wildflowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

8. Go cycling <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There’s one 92-mile road in Denali, and you can cycle the entire length of it if you want. The road is closed to public vehicles after mile 15 and you\u2019ll almost have the road all to yourself \u2013 apart from the occasional ranger vehicle, moose or bear. Whooshing through the park on a bicycle and feeling the cool, fresh air on your skin is guaranteed to have you feeling as free as a bird.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Visit Talkeetna <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Talkeetna is a quaint mountain town at the foothills of Denali and the Alaska Range, and while it only has 1,000 residents, it oozes charm and character. Get to know the locals in cosy roadhouses, sample craft beers around a warm log fire or fill your belly with freshly caught Alaskan seafood at a local restaurant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Watch the magical northern lights <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Who doesn’t dream of seeing the northern lights? In winter \u2013<\/strong> and maybe early spring or late fall if you’re lucky \u2013<\/strong> the skies above Denali are illuminated with green, blue, purple and red lights. Alaska is one of the best places in the world to see the northern lights as there’s hardly any light pollution. You can also try your luck at stargazing with a warm flask of mulled wine or hot chocolate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
