Built in 2005, the Denali Visitor Center and its surrounding campus are definitely worth a stop, either at the beginning or end of your trip. The center itself is the National Park Service's primary welcome and information center. Surrounding facilities include a restaurant, gift shop, bag check, bus stop, and train depot. The visitor center is open only during the summer and is located near the park entrance. During the summer, you can explore the exhibits, watch the park film, pay park admission, and speak with a ranger. During the fall, winter, and spring, the Murie Science and Learning Center (MSLC) serves as the park's winter visitor center. https://www.nps.gov/dena/planyourvisit/the-denali-visitor-center.htm

The Denali Visitor Center, located right at the entrance to Denali National Park, is the perfect starting point for your adventure in this rugged and fascinating landscape of Alaska. Here you will not only get useful information about the hiking trails and the wildlife, but you can also watch the park film Heartbeats of Denali, which will introduce you to the different facets of this breathtaking place. The exhibition in the center also gives you insights into the unique flora and fauna of the region. The area around the visitor center offers access to several popular hiking trails such as the Horseshoe Lake Trail and the Mt. Healy Overlook Trail. The Mt. Healy Overlook in particular rewards you after a steep climb with an impressive panoramic view of the park's vast landscape. There are also nearby trails for quieter hikes that lead through the dense forests and along the rivers and are ideal for relaxed exploration. A special highlight are the ranger-led tours and presentations that give you insights into the history of the park and its natural wonders. The Denali Visitor Center is not only an information point, but also a place that lets you immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere and the pristine nature of the wilderness - perfect for getting in the mood for the great Denali adventure.

You can snack on wild blueberries along the Savage Alpine Trail. You can also quickly collect a few in a small container for breakfast. ;) Simply delicious.

Large beaver dam, with a bit of luck you can also see the beaver.

This day use area doubles as the trailhead for the Savage River and Savage Alpine trails. It's most easily reached via the free Savage River Shuttle, a bus that does continuous loops from the park entrance to here and can also pick you up if you choose to hike one-way on the Savage Alpine Trail. If you have your own vehicle you can drive to this trailhead, but the limited parking fills up fast.

The Denali National Park Visitor Center is a must stop when visiting the park. Inside of the Visitor Center itself are exhibits and a short film about the history, environment, and ecology of Denali National Park. You can also get park and trail maps, chat with rangers, who are invaluable resources, and visit the gift shop. The Visitor Center is also where you can obtain passes and permits. There is wifi and restrooms for you to use there as well. Several trailheads are accessible from just outside the facility.

Some beaver dams just above the main Horseshoe Lake have created a few separate small ponds. You can go to the end of this tiny spur trail to see the dams up close and get next to the edge of the water.

Nice bouncy hiking bridge
