Destination Alaska

Visiting Denali in 2025

Listen Later

Planning to visit Denali National Park in 2025 as part of an Alaska trip? You're gonna want to hear this first!

Join me as I sit down (virtually) with Amber, Public Relations Officer for Denali National Park & Preserve to discuss what visitors need to know and updates for visitors this coming year. We also specifically discuss the Denali Park Road closure, what you can expect in 2025, and Amber provides an exclusive update about progress on the road repair!

In the Q&A, Amber also answers the following questions:

  • Which bus tour is the most kid-friendly?
  • Do you need to reserve Transit buses? How early?
  • How hardcore do you have to be to enjoy taking the Transit bus past Savage River? Is it really bushwhacking?
  • What activities other than bus tours can you do IN the park?
  • Where can you go fishing in Denali? What are the rules?
  • Is Denali National Park worth visiting in March?

    • This is the audio-only version of the Denali video in my 2025 Alaska Seminar Series. You can watch the video version on YouTube.
