View from the Alpine Trail

Incredible ground foliage in Denali National Park during the short autumn season. This is overlooking the Park Road and the Savage River bridge and parking area. This is mile-15 on the park road, the extent to which you can drive without a special permit. Generally, the public must use the shuttle or tour buses operated by Doyon Aramark to go further on the 92-mile road. The photo was taken along the Savage Alpine Trail, a 4.18-mile out-and-back hike, or a 6.5-mile loop. More details on the hiking in this area below!
