For Alaskan residents, or for visitors planning a long stay in the state, a six-ride discount package will hold particular appeal. The tickets must be used a minimum of seven days apart. Reservations are required. Shuttle buses leave from the Visitor Access Center near the park entrance at frequent, regularly scheduled intervals, and go as far as Wonder Lake, stopping at all the campgrounds and wildlife viewing opportunities along the way. Wildlife tour buses also provide access into the heart of the park.
Naturalist guides provide interesting information of the human and natural history of the park.
Tours may be booked through the local hotels. The park road is open to Wonder Lake from June 10 to mid-September, when it's usually closed by the first heavy snowfall. Private vehicles may drive only as far as mile 14.8 on the park road. Waits up to 2 days are common during peak visitor season. Accommodations Denali Backcountry Lodge .
