In the vibrant Denali National Park, the glacier world is home to a wide variety of wildlife such as grizzly bears, reindeer, wolves, Dole white sheep, and North American elk. The hillsides of summer are more beautiful because of the birds and wildflowers. During the stay in Denali, I saw a lot of animals, although I was prepared to bring a telescope, but the pain of forgetting the telephoto lens was irreparable, and the photos of the animals were slightly blurred, but plus How can you be unhappy with the beauty of the way! The animals that I saw were caribou (caribou), moose (moose), bear (mostly grizzly grizzly), etc., and it was hard to see a coyote. More Views of Denali National Park Tips: Tour Denali must remember to bring a telescope! ! ! Otherwise, if the animal is far away, it will not be clear. There are also friends who love photography to bring a telephoto lens to get better animal photos. When you are sitting in Denali Park's own shuttle, it is best to sit on the left side of the park. The reason for this suggestion is that there are more beautiful views on the left side when entering the park. Denali Park Fee If you are overcharged, you can request a refund. Because Denali Park can only be reported to the official tour shuttle to enter the park, so if you stay in Denali for a few days, you will need to report a few shuttles, each time you buy a shuttle ticket will be overcharged for 10 knives per person. However, this fee is valid for 7 days, so it only needs to be paid once. But what if I ordered a lot of shuttles to be overcharged? At this time, you need to present the other shuttle's purchase voucher when you receive the ticket at the Wilderness Access Center. The staff will return the overcharged park entrance fee to you according to the situation. Denali Park's Visitor Center bus stop has a baggage claim (baggage deposit point), which can be stored during business hours (up to 4pm). The price of a bag varies according to the storage time: 2 knives per hour, 3 knives in three hours, and 5 knives in all days. If you need to save the package, you can store it in his home, but remember to take the bag before closing the door. Denali's Visitor Center (referred to as VC) and the Wilderness Access Center (WAC for short) will take about 15~20min, or you can take the free Riley Creek Loop bus. Timetable: http

Private cars are not allowed in Denali National Park. Private cars can only be parked 10 miles from the entrance to the park. Then you need to transfer to the park to get inside the park and buy different types of tickets depending on the mileage. The same shuttle will stay at the designated location for a while, so the whole shuttle is completely OK with the same shuttle. Visitors can also get off at the designated location and take other shuttles to continue inside the park (to check the ticket) or return (without checking the ticket). Most visitors to Denali will take the shuttle bus to the park. The shuttle bus stops at Toklat River (53 miles), Eielson Visitor Center (66 miles), Lake Wendell (85 miles), and Kang Tishna Kantishna (92 miles). Longer sections have different scenery, and there are more opportunities to see wild animals. Visitors can get off at Park Road, and visitors who have valid tickets for the day can take another shuttle bus that is not yet full.
