DENALI BACKCOUNTRY JEEP SAFARI

You and your fellow adventurers will take the wheel of a 4-wheel drive Jeep Wrangler® and follow your guide on a spectacular journey into Denali?s backcountry. Your adventure begins near the entrance to Denali National Park where you meet your guide, receive your orientation and Jeep® assignment, then head North on the George Parks Highway toward Healy. Your destination is the Stampede Road, a road carved out of the wilderness by early miners working the area?s Kantishna gold fields and antimony mine. The Stampede Road gained notoriety more recently in John Krakauer?s bestselling book, ?Into The Wild.? The first few miles of the Stampede Road are paved, but beyond this point your guide will lead you along some very primitive roadway providing you with plenty of bumps and dips and sways. There will be ample opportunity to switch drivers so everyone can enjoy the thrill of maneuvering along this wilderness road. Interactive two-way radios allow your guide to explain the area?s rich history, point out interesting sights along the way, plus provide tips on the condition of the road ahead! Don?t forget your camera! On a clear day you may have the opportunity to see Mt. McKinley. Also, keep your eyes peeled for wildlife sightings... moose and bear are often seen in the vicinity. At their remote camp you?ll enjoy a hearty Alaskan snack before heading back

Black Diamond is a Challenging Course with Alaskan Hazards, such as a
tundra marsh or the occasional moose hoof print.
It's a relatively short course which makes it accessible and fun for any style of play and the course design makes for a quick round, which can fit into almost any travel schedule.
See you on the greens!

DENALI NATIONAL PARK

You can drive the first 14 miles into the Park. Beyond that you must be on a bus, bike, hiking, or by air. Your can get information about bus tours into the park by calling

1-800-622-7275 and on their web site www.nps.gov/dena We recommend the Wonder lake bus tour. It is the longest bus trip at 12 hours round trip, but with a shuttle pass you can get off and on the busses as you please. It is $6.00 more and 4 hours longer than the tour to Eielson, however if you are having a great day of seeing lots of animals and the mountain is out, you will be glad to have the option of going all the way into the park. Be sure to ask for a shuttle bus, you can always get off and hike, or turn around and come back at any time. There are several rest stops along the way. MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS IN ADVANCE; you cannot be guaranteed the trip you want just by walking up to the park visitors center desk.

REMEMBER: You cannot get food or water with in the park.

 Be sure to take your own provisions in with you.

There are no pets allowed in the Park.

Be prepared to tell us about your adventures, we love to hear your stories and pass them on to other guests.
