If you love wildlife this is a wonderful place to visit. We camped at Savage and Wonder Lake. Even though it was cloudy out Mt. McKinley was so big it felt like you could reach out and touch it. We saw a grizzly chase a squirrel and catch it, Dall Sheep, Moose, caribou, Golden and Bald Eagle, fox and many...

Denali is truly something everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. Often times, the mountain itself is hard to see due to clouds, but if you wake up early enough you're in for a treat. We went in the summer around late July, so the sun was almost always up. I'll never forget standing outside at 1 AM...

Love the mountain when you can see it! They came 30 percent of the travelers see it on their visit as it is usually covered over by clouds. Been to Alaska 3 times. First 2 times, only saw glimpses of it thru the clouds.... but this last trip, I was blessed to see the mountain in it's full glory!

Not much to dislike about this wonderful park. Mount McKinley is a beautiful sight. Would be nice if the bus got closer to the mountain.

We went to Denali the last week of the season. Our original tour was 4 hours late, went 12 miles and was turned back and cancelled due to bad weather. The park kindly rescheduled our tour for the next day and we were rewarded with a totally clear day and Denali was covered in snow. It was so clear the...

We are in the 30% Mt McKinley club as we are told that only 30% of tourists visiting Mt McKinley ever see Mt McKinley without being covered with clouds. We picked a good day for flying around Mt McKinley and landing on the snow-covered glaciers that surround her. Great trip but "pot luck on the weather". A must to do...

The mountain was out of the clouds for about an hour as we traveled toward it in the Denali bus. What an incredible view! This is my second trip here, on my first trip only the tip of the mountain appeared for a few minutes.

The Mountain was OUT and we were thrilled. Took a flight seeing tour. Well worth the money. Just gorgeous.

Must see if in Alaska, such a slow increase in elevation, no use trying to get close unless (spent a day getting close to the peak VIA bus) you are intending on making it to the top. Best seen on the porch of a nearby hotel.

Not many [people get to see the top of Mt. McKinley, but my wife & I did for about 15 minutes. The McKinley Wilderness Lodge has a good viewing area for it.
