A visit to Alaska’s wild Denali National Park and Preserve is a rare opportunity to see nature in its true state. This enormous preserve is more than six million acres – a staggering size larger than the entire state of New Hampshire. While you can absolutely hike through the wilderness at Denali, if you want a chance to see more than the area closest to the park entrance, you’re going to need a ride deeper into the preserve. There’s only one road through the park, and the majority of it is only open to buses. There are tour buses that take you along this route, but if you’re on a budget, you might want to consider one of the cheaper alternatives: a non-narrated transit bus or a free shuttle bus.
