Bus into Denali Park
 
WE WANT TO TAKE THE BUS INTO THE DENALI PARK & HAVE BEEN TOLD RESERVATIONS ARE A MUST FOR JULY. COULD SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME A PHONE # <BR>SO I CAN MAKE RESERVATIONS. I READ THAT THIS CAN BE DONE FROM ANCHORAGE. WE ARE TRAVELING WITH 8 PEOPLE, 2 ARE SENIOR CITIZENS, SO THE BUS IS A MUST, AS THEY CAN DO NO HIKING. THANK YOU

Sue, Visit www.denali.national-park.com and www.nps.gov/dena for all the information you need on the buses - schedules and prices. Yes, you better make reservations. Try and get on the first bus of the day. You'll have a better chance of seeing wildlife. <BR>

HI LINDA. I CALLED THE BUS'S # IT IS <BR>1-800-622-7275 & AFTER SPEAKING WITH THEM HAVE DECIDED NOT TO GO THAT FAR. <BR>THINK WE WILL DRIVE AS FAR AS TALKEETNA <BR>& TRY TO SEE MT. MCKINLEY. I GOT THIS ADVISE FROM A VERY HELPFUL LADY WHEN CALLING THE ALASKAN RR. BUT THANK U FOR YOU INPUT. SUE

Hi Sue. My husband and I were in Alaska last June. In our opinion, you will be making a big mistake if you do not go all the way to Denali. Talkeetna is a neat little town, but you cannot see all of Mt. McKinley from there. We had a fantastic bus ride through Denali and saw bears, moose, a red fox, deer, and many other animals at a close range. We also were there on a good day and were able to see the entire mountain. It was breath-taking to say the least. Hope you have a good time!

Hi Sue, We've decided not to go that far either. We're taking a flight-tour of Mt. McKinley out of Talkeetna. Taking a chance, though. Heard that the plane cost might not be worth it if it's a cloudy day and you can't see the mountain. <BR>

HI DINAH--THE REASON WE CHOSE NOT TO GO <BR>IS A TIME ELEMENT. SEE 1 BEAR/MOOSE/ETC <BR>SEE THEM ALL, THE SAME FOR MT MCKINLEY. <BR>WHAT IF ITS FOGGY? <BR>HI LINDA--JUST GONNA STAY IN TALKEENTA <BR>AND HAVE FUN THERE. MY PARENTS (78-82) <BR>WILL BE WITH US, SO THIS IS AS FAR AS THE ADVENTURE WILL GO. I'VE HEARD THE <BR>SAME ABOUT THE MT. & FOG-SO GOOD LUCK, HOPE U GET TO SEE IT. HAVE FUN. SUE
