Denali Jeep® Backcountry Safari
You and your fellow adventurers will take the wheel and follow your guide on a spectacular off-road journey on the Stampede trail not shown on most Alaska maps. This road was carved out of the wilderness by early miners working the area’s Kantishna gold fields and Antimony mine. The
|
Stampede Road gained notoriety more recently when John Krakauer’s best-selling book, Into The Wild, was published. This is the very same road that young Christopher McCandless, subject of the book, took to enter the wild, but never returned.
The first few miles of the Stampede Road are paved, but beyond that point your guide will lead you along some very primitive roadway providing you with plenty of bumps, dips and sways. Your Jeep Wrangler® carries four guests, and there will be several stops to switch drivers, so everyone can enjoy the thrill of maneuvering along this wilderness road. Interactive two-way radios allow your guide to interpret the area. You will stop for a break at a wilderness camp where you can enjoy a small "wilderness" cooked meal. Transfers in Denali are included. *Not recommended for very small children* Daily Departures; 7:15am, 11:15am, 5:45pm REGULAR PRICE $119, OUR PRICE $110! BOOK NOW |
