One incredibly unique experience at Denali National Park is visiting the sled dog headquarters and kennels. The kennels are open daily and while the limited parking can fill up quickly, there is a free shuttle from the park entrance. You can also hike to the kennels via the Rocky Creek and Roadside Trails. During the peak season (June-September), rain or shine, there are three, 30-minute demonstrations per day where Rangers and dogs show visitors a traditional Alaskan mode of travel and educate visitors about the dogs. If you visit the park during the winter, you might see the rangers and dogs preparing for, or returning from, multi-day trips in the park. You should stop by the Visitor Center first, however, to ask if the dogs are there before going.
