Fairbanks to Denali

We left Fairbanks on July 1 heading to Denali National Park. It is only around 120 miles, so we had a nice leisurely drive stopping often to enjoy the scenery. The roads are very good with only some minor construction in a few places. We arrived early at Denali and were able to check in at our reserved campsite in Riley Creek Campground. Riley Creek Campground is in walking distance of the registration and mercantile building. There are no hook-ups at the campground; however, there is water and bathrooms with flush toilets in the campground and bathrooms with showers at the registration building. There is also a laundry room where you can do laundry. The next day we left to move to our new campsite at Teklanika River Campground located 29 miles into the Denali National Park. This is as far in the park that you can camp in an RV. There are no hook-ups. They do have pit latrines and water available

The town of Denali. We stopped and enjoyed seeing all the tourist? that flock to this little town. There were large numbers of tour buses in the town of Denali which supports the many tour groups that come to see the Denali National Park. Here are several pictures of the town...
