| (DAT#01) Kantishna Wilderness Trails | |||||||||
Tour Description The Kantishna Wilderness Trails Tour is ideal for visitors who wish to travel all the way to Kantishna Roadhouse, located at the far end of the Denali Park Road. The full day trip covers the entire 190 miles of the Denali Park Road and takes 13 hours. The motorcoach features more comfortable seats than the shuttle bus which makes the long journey more pleasant. Enjoy the scenery and look out for wildlife while your naturalist guide informs you about the history of Denali National Park, its diverse wildlife and flora. Once a bear, caribou or another animal has been spotted the bus will stop that everyone can watch and take pictures. The wilderness backcountry of Denali National Park is home to famous "Denali Big Five” which are Dall Sheep, Moose, Grizzly Bears, Wolves and Caribou. Forests and high alpine tundra are also home to porcupine, hare, squirrel, marmot, mink, marten, beaver, lynx, fox and over 100 different species of birds.
The tour stops halfway through and again at Kantishna Roadhouse where you enjoy a hot lunch. While staying at Kantishna you can enjoy guided activities - try your luck gold panning, explore the area or watch a sled-dog demonstration. Kantishna itself is located in a historic mining district and has lots of history. Afterwards you will get back on the bus and enjoy the scenic return trip to the park entrance. Since it is quite a long day, we do not recommend any children younger than 6 years. What to bring You should wear sturdy walking shoes and layers of warm and lighter clothing with rain gear packed. Bring your binoculars to watch animals at a greater distance, your camera with a large zoom, lots of film / disk space. We suggest to take some snacks and plenty of water.
