Denali Park

Denali National Park Alaska

At over six million acres, Denali National Park is larger than the state of Massachusetts. The Park is home to Dall sheep, grizzly bear, caribou, moose and Mt. Denali… the tallest mountain in North America. It is no wonder roughly 400,000 visitors make their way to Denali each year.

Getting There

The trip on the railroad north from Anchorage will take you just under eight hours, or you can ride south from Fairbanks in about four. Trains operate daily during the summer months and you can choose from several different classes or levels of rail service . For more information see Denali Park schedules , rates or click on a specific trip below.

The Park Connection Motorcoach offers twice daily service to Denali Park from Anchorage, as well as same day service from Whittier and Seward. Most travelers that book with us take the bus for part of their trip, here’s why .

Where to Stay

Most visitors to Denali stay in hotels or lodges located just outside the Park entrance, either one mile north in the Denali Canyon area or seven miles south near Denali Village. Our top picks are the Denali Princess, Grande Denali and Denali Bluffs Hotel north of the entrance, or the Lodge at Denali Village to the south.

There are also a number of wilderness lodges deep inside Denali Park at the end of the Park road. Our favorites include the Kantishna Roadhouse and the Denali Backcountry Lodge.

Levis, San Francisco: Thank you for organizing this amazing post cruise tour. We arrived in Seward aboard the Celebrity Millenium and really enjoyed our visit to the Alaska wildlife conservation center. The variety of animals to view did not disappoint. The setting is perfect! I loved that you are able to observe up close - that could have been a little luck too. The schedules, vouchers, trips, tours all went according to plan and expectations. After travelling we feel we really happy with your quality of services. The McKinley resort was vey good in all facilities which had a good flexible breakfast program. We really enjoyed the Dome car ride from Anchorage to Denali and wished we had booked it to the return journey too.

Two capitals of Russia tour / 8D

►  Tours    ►  St Petersburg and Moscow tours   ► Two capitals of Russia

  Moscow and St Petersburg are considered the two capitals of Russia and both cities are strikingly different from each other but amazing in their own ways. Moscow is a major metropolis which is constantly changing and whose citizens are almost always in a rush. It is the political and financial centre of the country and home to the president whose residence is located inside the Moscow Kremlin. St Petersburg is known as the Northern Capital and the Venice of the North. It is also considered the cultural capital of Russia and has a much more European feel to it than Moscow.

  St Petersburg is often regarded as more beautiful than Moscow with its countless bridges and canals, stunning palaces and architectural masterpieces, all of which especially shines during the period known as the white nights when the sun does not set.

  On this tour to Moscow and St Petersburg you will visit the main treasures of both capitals, including the Red Square and St Basil Cathedral , the Tretiakov Gallery in Moscow and St Petersburg’s Hermitage . The tour is perfect for those coming to Russia for the first time and can be combined with visits to the Golden Ring or a trip on the Trans-Siberian. The tour is based on you arriving in Russia in one city and then leaving from the other, as this will save time and is the best option for seeing both cities. If you arrive and depart from the same city then one extra night at a hotel and an extra train (or plane) trip will need to be added.

  This itinerary is best for first visits to Russia for this particular duration of stay, but as this tour is completely private you can modify it according to your preferences and special requirements.

There are several very nice places in Losiny Ostrov National Park. You can visit a biostation to see moose and deers and you can visit the swamp lands, not only for the autumn colors but also for birdwatching, also there is a historic museum in the cottage of former lumberjack. I would contact the parK directly for a guided tour, here is the name of a very nice tour guide: [email protected]

There were some reports a few years ago of homeless dog packs attacking visitors. Unfortunately, it may still be the case of poor city management of that particular issues of stray dogs in city parks. Locals may have updated info. At some point back in October 2010 I found that someone thrown 4 few weeks old puppies and they lived underneath a wooden shack of winter swimmers club in Sokolniki park, next to big Putyaevsky pond. I brought them couple times pound or two sausages, but… who knows if they made it through the winter, and if they did they may not be the ones you want to meet while browsing forests…
