Take control of your 4-hour Denali
adventure - drive around in your very
own Jeep on the Denali
Self-Drive Adventure.
You won't even have to follow a group;
just take the wheel and go. Best of
all, you can do it at your own pace.
The Jeeps come equipped with a GPS
system that gives you a narrated tour
as you go. It's like having your own
personal tour guide.
No matter which direction you go,
your GPS-triggered narration will follow.
Many people head south, toward Cantwell
and Broad Pass, a 45-minute drive with
amazing views of Mt. McKinley. From
Cantwell you can turn off onto a dirt
road that takes you past alpine lakes
and fields of wildflowers.
Other people choose to head into Denali
National Park (this requires an additional
fee). Though you can only go 15 miles
into the park, it’s the perfect
opportunity to experience this pristine
natural environment, keeping an eye
out for bears, moose, and eagles along
the way. Still other drivers head north
to the town of Healy, about 10 miles
away. Here there are a couple side
roads that lead to history-rich mining
country.
This isn’t an off-road adventure:
most of your driving is on paved roads.
But it still makes for a memorable
adventure. And since you’re doing
it solo, you can stop whenever you
like for pictures or to take a hike
and surround yourself with the majesty
of the Denali area.
