FAQs

Will I have my own Jeep?
Yes, all parties of two or more will have their own Jeep. Parties of 1 will be placed with other parties of 1 or with the guide. For larger parties, Jeeps are filled to a maximum of 4 passengers, then additional Jeeps are added.

Can I ride with the guide?

Can we see Denali from the tour?
Weather permitting, Denali can be visible along the Parks Highway to Cantwell and the first several miles of the Denali Highway. The out-and-back route provides another chance to see it.

Which is the better tour, morning or evening?
With nearly 24 hours of daylight in summer, there is no difference; choose what fits your schedule. Animals often prefer the cooler morning and evening.

Will we see wildlife?
Sightings are not guaranteed. Moose, fox, porcupines, snowshoe hares, caribou, and occasionally sheep and bears may be seen. Morning and late afternoon are typically best times.
