Choice on Tour (included): In Denali National Park, you’ll have the choice between two activities. Your first option is to join your Tour Manager for an easy hike along one of the marked trails just outside the Visitors Center. Walk among wildflowers in bloom and discover gorgeous views in every direction. Your second option is to take a bus into the park where you’ll meet up with a ranger to meet the park’s sled dogs and tour the kennels. These working pups help rangers reach remote parts of the park and are reflective of Alaska’s traditional wilderness transportation.
