Visiting Denali National Park in 2023

For years an ongoing landslide has intermittently closed part of the Denali Park Road, requiring an incredible effort to keep the area safely maintained for visitors and staff. The National Park Service is now moving forward with a permanent solution.

In the summer of 2023 construction will continue on a bridge to bypass the landslide. During construction visitors will still have access to 43 scenic miles of the Park Road. Here's what to expect from park tours, plus some unique activities off the road.

Rent a Jeep for the day. Drive the public portion of the Park Road, head up to Healy or down to Cantwell, or go even further with a full-day rental to the quieter Denali State Park.
Check out the Denali Highway. Jeep driving, but with a guide, along the eastern Alaska range.
