Denali National Park Tundra Wilderness Tour (AAT34).  During the early part of the trip, watch for moose: there are some huge bulls that hang out in the taiga forest between headquarters and Savage Campground. Look for caribou anywhere above treeline. But don't be surprised if wildlife is sparse in those early miles—it’s not unusual to see no animals on this section of road, depending on the time of day and season. The tip of Mount McKinley first comes into view at Mile 9. You'll ride over high mountain passes and usually see Dall sheep on the mountainsides. If you're lucky, you'll spot bears too. It’s not uncommon to see wolves from Teklanika on.  A high point—literally and figuratively—is the drive over Polychrome Pass, which offers a grand view of the Plains of Murie, stretching to the Alaska Range on the horizon. The colours of the mountains seem to change depending on light and time of day. Just on the other side of Polychrome Pass is the Toklat River and Toklat Bridge. If clouds cover Mount McKinley, the tour turns around here.  Watch for bears ambling along the tundra or riverbeds and for Mount McKinley, which will be in and out of view the rest of the trip. The bus goes over Highway Pass and stops at Stony Hill Overlook at Mile 62. There, Mount McKinley looms only 36 miles away—a perfect photo opportunity. Then you’ll turn around and head for home.   The tour includes a picnic meal and park entrance fee.  Duration: approx. 6 - 8 hours (depending on road conditions).  Operates daily between 15 May and 17 September.  Prices £89 per adult / £49 per child (14 and under).
