"Hiking" Denali National Park and Preserve Things to Do Tip by mht_in_la

  Savage River trail

Get off the road and hike a little. In Denali National Park there are many marked trails. The one shown in photo is Savage River trail, a short loop that follows Savage River. The photo shows the bridge at the end of trail where you cross the River and return. It's an easy hike located at mile 15 with a large parking lot. This is as far as you can drive in the summer. There's a ranger station at Savage River. You must take the Park's shuttle bus after this point.

Better yet, there are trail-less tundra for unlimited hiking possibilities. If you plan to camp out in the backcountry, obtain a free permit first at the Visotor Center.
