Join me on this calming scenic road trip from Talkeetna to Denali National Park. It takes three hours to get there, but I am showing you a whole day in less than 15 minutes. Stay until the end for a beautful sunset view of the Alaska Range — including Denali.
On the way to the national park, we will stop at Kesugi Ken's public use cabins; their setting offers a close-up southside view of the mountains including a view of Denali, the highest mountain in North America. Then we continue our drive north and stop at Broad Pass to see Denali from a new angle. Onward through Cantwell and Denali village and finally to Denali National Park. This weekend there is a celebration: Denali Winterfest! See the snow sculptures and roast some marshmallows over the fire to make S'mores. Then we visit the sled dogs! Denali is the only U.S. national park with a kennel. These are our four-legged park rangers. They help to patrol the park and are vital for the smooth operations.
Speaking of National Park Rangers... I'm incredibly concerned about the widespread federal layoffs impacting our national parks and forests. The National Park Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and other vital agencies are being gutted, and the consequences are already severe: lives upended for dedicated park staff who are losing their jobs. And the effects are rippling out to the public, with longer wait times at locations (like Denali National Park), canceled campground reservations, and a general decline in the quality of the visitor experience. This isn't just about inconvenience — it's about the future of our national treasures and the dedicated people who protect them. The situation is devastating and demands immediate attention. Please write to your Representatives and ask them to bring back our Park Rangers and other vital federal employees.
