Overview

Remote and rugged, the Denali Highway is a drive of a lifetime. This five-hour guided Jeep tour provides the perfect opportunity for travelers eager to experience for themselves this remarkable stretch of road.

Fully narrated by a guide via two-way radio.

After a 30-minute shuttle ride to the jeep staging area in Cantwell, tour guests climb into their Jeep Wrangler 4x4s and drive east onto the Denali Highway. The road isn't in Denali National Park, but rather climbs to high points with spectacular views of the park from the east. The scenery is varied and beautiful, from calm marshes reflecting stands of stunted evergreens, to wild blueberry bushes mixed in with pale green lichen.

The tour is fully narrated by a guide in the lead jeep via two-way radio. Guests chat back and forth, asking questions and requesting photo stops. The guide directs the group to spots where wildlife may be spotted and particularly beautiful viewpoints for pictures. On those clearer days, guides tick off the names of viewable mountains. There is Deborah and Hayes, Hess and Nenana. The lower peaks of the Alaska Range form a grey-blue ring around the snowcapped mountains beyond, creating a dramatic backdrop to the green alpine terrain. At about mile 50 on the gravel highway, the tour turns back for the return drive to Cantwell.
