Denali ATV Adventures pairs zealous trailblazers with an all-terrain vehicle for a rollicking jaunt through the area's most stunning topography. The Denali Wilderness Tour guides four-wheeled furies across 10 miles of vibrant backcountry and 1.5 hours of trail time, traversing well-worn ATV paths, old coal-mining trails, and ancient pogo trails before alighting upon panoramic vistas of the Alaska Range, Healy Valley, and Otto Lake. If weather permits, a splashy spin down the creek bed offers guests a refreshing respite from sky-scraping altitudes while allowing them ample opportunities to tow the area's majestic moose and caribou on boogie boards. Sightseers can journey solo on a fully automatic Yamaha Grizzly, or join a friend in a side-by-side mountain-prowler. Denali provides a helmet, gloves, goggles, and any necessary rain tackle.
