Best way to spend the day at Denali. Enjoyed dog sled demonstration. On this day the weather was perfect given a perfect view of Mt Denali.

We got to see some of the fun things in the area and do some shopping! It was nice to get a picture in front of the Denali sign because that is not something we would normally bother to do.

The bus picks you up from all local hotels/cabins in the Denali area. States is a Denali tour but it literally follows the free shuttle service route bringing you to the visitors center (free), kennel (free), shops (obviously free) and a pub (that isn’t covered). I am absolutely so confused as to how this was $100 pp when we saw absolutely nothing that isn’t included with every hotel shuttle. What is the point
Wonderful experience!
