Denali National Park & Preserve

The first visitors who made the journey to Denali were allowed to drive the park road. As visitation increased and traveling along the narrow, rustic park road became a threat to wildlife, the National Park Service recognized the need for public transportation. A bus transportation system was established in 1972 to limit road traffic and maximize opportunities to view wildlife. Today, if you venture beyond mile 14 of the park road, you'll need to be on a bus, a bicycle, or your own two feet.
