Denali Park Things to Do

Aside from the popular bus tours that take you deep within Denali National Park, the whole Denali Park area offers so many things to do it can be difficult to settle one just a few. To start, be sure to take time to explore the park's Visitors Center to become acquainted with the local history and wildlife. From here you can head out onto a series of accessible interpretive trails. If a guided walk sounds appealing, reserve a spot on the Denali Interpretive Hike.

If adventure is on your bucket list, try soaring above Denali's ridges and craggy glaciers aboard a flightseeing excursion, or ride the waters of Nenana River on a rafting trip.

Since sled dog teams are an Alaskan icon, a visit to the Denali Park sled dog kennel is a fun way to learn about (and meet) the National Park Service's only working sled dog team. For a closer look at Alaska's renowned husky dogs and the life of a musher, book a DogGoneIt Kennel Tour.

Glacier landing tours are popular with those interested in learning more about Alaska's thousands of glaciers. Your fixed-wing plane will land upon a glacier in Denali National Park where snow flies all year long and visitors feel small against the flanks of Denali, the mammoth mountain aptly called "The High One."

Even more options await outside of the Denali National Park boundary. The Trailblazer ATV Tour motors 20 miles through the rugged hills of nearby Healy, offering a view of the mountains and surrounding landscape from a completely different vantage point.

Soar among the treetops with the Denali Park Zipline Tour for a look at the boreal forest canopy while enjoying views of the surrounding mountains.

When it's time to slow down, enjoy dinner and a show at the Denali Cabin Nite Dinner Theater or the Music of Denali Dinner Show for a humorous glimpse of life during Alaska's pioneer days.
