Denali Excursions

Don’t miss the Denali Highway—featured as the #2 “Drive of a Lifetime” by National Geographic Traveler magazine! Once the gateway to Denali National Park, this 135-mile gravel road is surrounded by pristine nature and is a photographer’s paradise. Snow-capped mountains, icy glaciers and panoramic vistas flank the Denali Highway. During your guided and narrated 100+ mile round trip excursion, there are opportunities to see Denali (formerly Mt. McKinley) and wildlife (both weather permitting). New, four-door, 4×4 Jeeps hug the dirt road, while comfortably seating four adults who can trade off driving. Each Jeep has a CB radio for communicating with the guide so stops can be made whenever desired. As driving the Denali Highway is prohibited by most rental vehicle companies, this exclusive excursion provides access to more of Alaska’s spectacular scenery and wildlife.
