A day in Denali

[77skidoo]

Hi, just have a (hopefully) easy one. I've got one full day to spend at Denali and was planning to take the park bus to the Eilson (sp?) Visitor Center and back. Is this likely to be a good trip to see wildlife? Is it too long or not long enough? Will I have a shot at seeing Mt. McKinley?

 

Thanks for your help!

Yes you will see wildlife, going to Eielson. Necessary is a good pair of binoculars of at least 10 power. Viewing McKinley is rare.

Just to clarify Budget Queen's reply above, yes, you have a shot to see Denali on this bus trip, but the weather hides the mountain more often than not -- here and everywhere. But if the mountain is "out" (clouds are clear), than then you'll absolutely see it on this trip.
