Hiking The Savage Alpine Trail in Denali National Park, Alaska!

On the way back from the Dalton Highway we had to drive by Denali National Park. On the way north we did visit the park and drove down to Savage River and back but Mt McKinley was clouded in so we couldn't get a peak. On the way south the weather seemed better so we reserved 3 nights at Savage River Campground. With easy access to the Savage Alpine Trail and a shuttle bus that would take us back to camp for free we decided this would be a great hike. It was just as good as the name would imply! We finally get to see Alaskan pikas as well! We did see dall sheep as well but only through someone's spotting scope. Even with our binoculars they only seemed like white rocks.
After the hike the time matched up to one of the three daily sled dog demonstrations at the dog kennels that the park maintains! Believe it or not they use sled dogs to travel around the park in winter!

That was an amazing hike what views

[@ervinslens]

What a beautiful work, views are spectacular man! Brilliant scenery 🔥

[@DJMoore-001]

Awesome! I hope you get to see Bears and Caribou. Maybe if you are in the right area some Dall Sheep. You almost need a Spotting scope just to see miles and miles beyond. Thanks Jay.

Thank you for sharing!

I did that hike end of May this year! We keep missing each other… some day would love to bump into you!

[@davidkuhns8389]

Wow, have things changed. My Denali experience was long ago. In the '70s there were no maintained trails at all, the busses were free and rarely full, and it was strange to see anyone else on a hike. Army buddies and I took several week-long backpacking trips cross-country, out there.

The song @ 11:00 is beautiful.

So much better when you don't do voiceovers. This way I am there with you, on the trail.

Do you carry bear spray?

[@JayWandersOut]

Yes, both of us.
