Our road crews have done a great job removing snow drifts and ice that in some places was up to eight feet thick. Crews often encounter heavy overflow ice and high snowdrifts during the long process of getting the park road ready for buses and vehicle traffic.
All dates are weather dependent.
Crews could still encounter unusually high drifts or overflow ice problems in the heart of the park or be plagued by late spring snowstorms. Bus trips to Eielson Visitor Center begin on June 1 and to Wonder Lake and Kantishna on June 8. A maximum of eight tickets can be purchased with each reservation. Telephone reservations can be made up until the end of the business day before departure. Fax reservations must be received no less than two days before travel.
