So we were REALLY excited that HAL had a promo on a land and sea cruise we could afford that took us to Denali for a half-day (I know, I know, not nearly enough time, but you take what you can get when you can get it). Because of DH's work schedule, we had to choose the very last one they had, leaving Fairbanks on 9/16/23 for the park.
We're not particularly thrilled with HAL's ShoreEx offerings (only 14 miles into the park on a bus? really?), and sadly, the transit buses stop running . . . two days before we get there. Feh.
Does anyone have any suggestions on companies that might still be running tours into the Park itself that late in the season? Are we better off doing a Jeep tour down Denali Highway or an ATV trip to Black Mountain? We're fairly independent travellers and could do some hiking, but DH's knees limit what he can handle.
Thanks for whatever feedback you can share.
