Getting There

Car

Denali National Park and Preserve's administrative headquarters are located along Alaska Route 3 (the George Parks Highway), approximately 240 miles north of Anchorage, 125 miles south of Fairbanks, and 12 miles south of Healy. In Talkeetna, approximately 100 miles north of Anchorage, you'll find Denali's mountaineering headquarters.

Train

Alaska's state-owned railroad runs directly to the entrance of Denali. For more information please visit the Alaska Railroad.

Plane

Air travel to either Anchorage or Fairbanks is the easiest entry to Alaska - then you'll want to drive/shuttle/train to Denali. If you are flying your own airplane to Denali visit our "Flight Site".

Public Transportation

In summer a variety of private bus and van services operate daily from Anchorage and Fairbanks. Contact a travel agent or conduct an internet search to find available companies.

Getting Around
