点评:We've visited many of the US National Parks, and just as we expected, Denali was also a worthwhile visit.
*We hiked the Horseshoe Lake Trail - it was a nice trek, views of the lake.
*We hiked the Mountain Vista Trail - short trail with views.
*We hiked the Savage Alpine Trail, a 4.1m point-to-point trail. It was on an extremely windy day, so when we were at the top it was a bit challenging, but this hike was one of the highlights of our 12-day trip to Alaska. I followed the advice I came across in my research, so I will share it with you. Park at the Mountain Vista side, start there and hike all the way through to the Savage River area. Take the free park shuttle from Savage River to the Mountain Vista area, to pick up your car. This way, you have less ascend on the hike.
*We watched the film at the Visitor Center, short & informative.
*We shopped at the Park store. There's something for everyone.
*We took the East Fork Transit bus to go further into the park, since private cars can only go up to mile 14. The cost is about $35 i think per person. We did get to see a couple of grizzly bears but from afar, nothing spectacular. When we got to the end, where we were planning to do some backcountry hiking, it was not possible because of the crazy winds. None got off to hike. Given that, i am not sure it was worth spending 4 hrs on that bus. If we had been able to hike there, it would definitely have been worth it. If the transit bus leaves, you have to wait for another one, and they can only pick you up if they have room.
Note: there are 3 kind of buses in Denali NP. The free shuttle bus that goes to Mile 14, the EFT Transit Bus that goes to Mile 43, and the narrated tour buses that also go to Mile 43 but are narrated.
Overall, a worthwhile visit to a beautiful park.

*我们徒步旅行了马蹄湖步道——这是一次很好的徒步旅行,可以看到湖景。
*我们徒步旅行了山景步道(Mountain Vista Trail)——风景优美的短途步道。
*我们徒步了 Savage Alpine Trail,一条 4.1m 的点对点步道。那天风很大,所以当我们到达山顶时有点具有挑战性,但这次徒步旅行是我们阿拉斯加 12 天之旅的亮点之一。我遵循了我在研究中遇到的建议,因此我将与您分享。将车停在 Mountain Vista 一侧,从那里出发,一路徒步到达萨维奇河 (Savage River) 地区。乘坐免费公园班车从 Savage River 前往 Mountain Vista 地区取车。这样,你在徒步旅行时就可以减少上升的次数。
*我们在游客中心观看了这部电影,短片内容丰富。
*我们在公园商店购物。每个人都能找到适合自己的东西。
*我们乘坐East Fork Transit巴士前往公园更远的地方,因为私家车只能开到14英里。我想每人的费用约为35美元。我们确实看到了几只灰熊,但从远处看,没什么壮观的。当我们到达终点时,我们计划进行一些野外徒步旅行,但由于狂风而无法实现。没有人下车去徒步旅行。鉴于此,我不确定是否值得花 4 个小时在那辆公共汽车上。如果我们能够徒步到那里,那绝对是值得的。如果公交车离开,您必须等待另一辆,并且只有在有空位的情况下才能接您。
注:Denali NP 有 3 种巴士。前往 14 英里的免费班车、前往 43 英里的 EFT Transit 巴士以及同样前往 43 英里但有解说的解说旅游巴士。
总的来说,这是一个值得参观的美丽公园。
