Visiting Denali National Park in 2026

We're back! After five years of hard work and quite the engineering marvel, the Denali Park Road is officially open once again!

Here's what this means for Alaska travelers in 2027.

2026 Denali Bus Tours

  • Tundra Wilderness Tour - The classic Denali National Park experience! In 2027 the Tundra Wilderness Tour returns to its full length, traveling 62 miles one way with a turnaround at the scenic Stony Hill Overlook. Read more about the experience here.
  • Denali Natural History Tour - Focusing on the human history of Denali National Park, this tour remains the same with two interpretative presentations and a turnaround at Mile 17 on the Park Road. See more here.
  • Denali Backcountry Adventure - Travel 93 miles to the end of the Park Road. It's a 13-hour day, but there's no better way to see as much of the park as you can by road. Privately operated, guided, and includes a lunch break midday at the Denali Backcountry Lodge. Check it out here.
