Denali is special, but the train/bus tour needs more time. A school bus is the only vehicle allowed into Denali beyond the 1st 10(?) miles. It acts as a shuttle bus taking campers into and out of the park. We had a good tour, deep into the park, but had to turn around to run back to the train. (They held it for a bus load of train travelers.) Regards, Bob S.
