Gracie115 Posted January 3, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 3, 2017 We are planning our 1st Alaskan trip and one of the things we all want to do is to do one of the ATV excursions in Denali. One of us has a hip replacement and we are trying to determine if the excursion will be okay for her. How bumpy are the ATV's excursions? Will she be disallowed if she reveals her condition. If there is an issue we will find something else to do but thought someone here might have some experience/knowledge in this area. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv0828 Posted January 3, 2017 #2 Share Posted January 3, 2017 If I were in your circumstances, I would have the person check with her doc. I would have a lot more confidence in a medical opinion than hearing what a cruise line or other people think.

AKStafford Posted January 3, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 3, 2017 ATV excursions in Denali. Just to clarify... None of the ATV excursions take you into Denali National Park. They all cover ground just outside the park. Still some great stuff, but you won't be in the park boundaries. Which ATV excursions are you looking at? We did the Argo tour with Denali Tundra Tours: http://www.mydenalitours.com/ . I think as long as she isn't driving she'd be fine on that one, or any other tour with a side by side. She might need a little help getting in and out. Any ATV tour where she'd be driving a four-wheeler might be a little much, because you use your whole body to maneuver them.

laughing husky Posted January 4, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Most of the ATV tours go on the Denali highway, some go on the stampede road. Both are dirt roads, not highways, and can be bumpy but not necessarily...you can drive around the pot holes, but there are a lot of them....
