Park Road Opens to Denalia National Park

Early arrivals in Alaska this year have an opportunity to explore part of the road into Denali National Park. The Park Service recently announced that the Park Road is open about 30 miles into the park as of this week and anyone can drive the open portion from now until May 19 when the regular season tour buses begin operation. The Dall ram photograph shown here was taken from the window of one of the buses.

This may not seem like much, but it does offer the opportunity to explore at least a corner of a park the size of Maryland at your own pace and without a schedule being dictated by others. RVers taking advantage of this opportunity will probably find themselves boondocking wherever they can find space. No announcement has yet been made about any of the area RV parks with hookups being opened for the early season.
