Riley Creek is a popular campground in Denali National Park located in close proximity to the Denali Visitor Center, and lots of hiking / mulit-use trails. Some camp sites are fairly private, as they are screened by trees and shrubbery. The campsites are open to walk-in tent campers, car campers, and RVs. The campground is close to the Denali park entrance, along with the amenities of businesses outside the park in close proximity. Campers frequently see lots of wildlife (including moose)!

The campground has cell service, and wifi available for purchase. Fires are allowed year-round, and downed wood may be gathered. Potable water is seasonal - make sure you have all proper water filtration systems needed! No campgrounds in Denali have electrical or water hookups for RVs. Riley Creek campground has a general store with camping supplies, food, a shower house, and laundry facilities.

Reservations are available as early as December 1 of the summer before you wish to visit. To book your campground and find additional information, follow this link: https://www.nps.gov/dena/plany...

Hike the Taiga Trail

The trail is a quick and scenic 1.6 miles, with wonderful wild flowers and ample opportunities to see wildlife (along with the surrounding river valley and Alaska Range). The Taiga trail is best used from April to August. This trail also serves the purpose of connecting the visitor's center with other trails nearby.

Hike Mount Healy Overlook Trail

The trailhead for the Mt Healy Overlook Trail is located at the visitor center, just inside Denali National Park. Take the Taiga Trail, and follow signs to the Mt Healy Overlook Trailhead. There is plenty of signage and it's an easy trail to follow. The first mile or so of this 2.7 mile out-and-back trail is fairly mild, with a wide, well trafficked gravel path winding through tall forests. Be...

Winter Camp at Wonder Lake

There are multiple ways to do this trip - ski, mush, or by flying in a bush plane and then meeting up with a group of mushers. I highly recommend doing ANY of them, but most likely you will need to assess your time, skill, and budget to decide what is best for you. The 2 most likely of the 3 will be with a plane or with dogs. People do make the trip on skis, but usually its a 2-3 week round tri...
