Um, I did notice you didn't buy a calendar..:-)
Ken is another resource.
The Denali Highway isnt a highway mostly a gravel road... and it goes
east to west
It may have more paving now- havent been there since 1992. IN 1989
we did it at the time you are thinking of, and in 1987 Richard did it alone
We never saw the top of Denali. In May of 1992 , it was "out" a lot.
You arent permitted to drive the whole park road unless you aregoing
to stay at that special lodge at the end of it... or camp there. You would
probably need reservationswell in advance.
If you are flying, instead of driving up, go into Anchorage... a much nicer
city... It isn't that far from Anchorage to the park - . I'd say skip
Fairbanks altogether
Get "The MilePost" - invaluable to anyone on the road up there
detailed , etc.
a start for your research anyway..

I'm seriously considering a photo safari to Denali late next summer,
to hopefully catch the "autumn" colors there (and, if I'm lucky, some
Northern Lights from high latitudes). I'm wondering if any PDMLers
have made the trip and have any words of advice.
My thinking, if I can get away with returning a rental car to a
different city than I'm leaving from, is to fly into Fairbanks and
drive Denali from the north to the south over several days and then
leave from Anchorage.
I'm not sure of the length of the trip. Ideally, I'd like to leave the
Friday before Labor Day and come home the weekend after Labor Day. I'm
just beginning my research of how long it takes to drive, calculating
the cost ... hiking options, etc.
