Black Diamond ATV - Denali Tours | ALASKA.ORG Recommended

Drive your own 4-wheel all-terrain vehicle (ATV) on a truly exciting off-road journey through the backcountry adjacent to Denali National Park. Black Diamond puts you in control: stop whenever you want, take pictures of the spectacular scenery, and laugh as you experience Alaska as it was meant to be: rough and wild.

The adventure begins with a safety training and information briefing. All functions of the machine are thoroughly explained, and you have a chance to drive the machine and make sure you’re completely comfortable. If you prefer to be a passenger, ride along with a guide for an equally exciting adventure. After getting outfitted with all the proper gear, you’re on your way.

Explore old coal mining trails and spill out onto the Dry Creek River Bed, where Athabascan Indian artifacts have been found in archaeological digs. Across the river, check out an authentic abandoned cabin. Your adventure takes you high up on Black Diamond Peak where you can view the entire Healy Valley and breathtaking mountain scenery. Photo opportunities abound, and you have a great chance of viewing wildlife in their natural habitat.

Details: You must be 16 years or older with a valid drivers license to drive a machine but you can participate as a passenger on the guide machine at any age.
