Independent Activities

If you are interested in striking out on your own, we can help you plan an independent day hiking, canoeing, biking, fishing, or flightseeing.

We encourage you to seek out independent adventures while visiting Camp Denali. You can borrow our trail and topographic maps, canoes, bikes, and fishing gear.

You can also enjoy our resource center, where exhibits, collections, a resource library, and a microscope bring learning opportunities indoor.

Stroll down to our greenhouse to learn about the challenges and opportunities of Alaska’s growing season.

If quiet relaxation is your day’s ambition, prop up your feet, read from our extensive libraries of natural history topics and Alaskan literature, and relish unsurpassed mountain scenery. 

Paddle a canoe, tracing Denali's reflection in Wonder Lake.

Bike along the Denali Park Road.

Photograph Denali bathed in alpenglow.

Fish for Grayling in Moose Creek or Trout in Wonder Lake.

Join evening programs on Alaska's natural and cultural history.

Relax in front of a wood burning fire.
