Need help with must sees/dos at Denali Early September

[geepmaley]

What are must sees/dos while at Denali? We are there for 2 days on Princess land/sea pkg arriving Sep 6.

If the buses are still running do them both days to improve your chances of seeing wildlife. Plus the dog sled kennels. Try to figure out which Princess lodge you are staying at as one is miles closer to the park than the other one.

Definitely Fly Denali with a landing up in the mountains.

Try to figure out timing to make the most of what you have. I was surprised to learn that the train ride from ANC to Denail park was 8.5  hours.

So essentially you will have a few hours the day you arrive. And in September, daylight will be quickly waning. Then you will have one full day to really get into Denali on a bus, whether shuttle or tour. Be sure to research well on the NPS website to make the most of your (short) time there.
