 Take
the wheel of 4-WD Jeep Wrangler® and follow your
guide on a spectacular off-road journey into Denali’s
backcountry. Your adventure begins near the entrance
to Denali National Park where you meet your guide, receive
your orientation and Jeep® assignment.
Your destination
is the Stampede Road. Once called the Stampede Trail,
and 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 recently with
the release of the motion picture, Into The Wild directed by Sean Penn.
This is the very same road that young Christopher McCandless
took to enter the wild.
The first
few miles of the Stampede Road are paved, but
beyond this point your guide will lead you along some
very primitive roadway providing you with plenty of
bumps, dips and obstacles. Your Jeep Wrangler® carries
four guests, and there will be ample opportunity to
switch
drivers so everyone can enjoy the thrill of maneuvering
along this wilderness road.
Interactive two-way radios
allow your guide to explain the area’s rich history,
point out interesting sights along the way, plus provide
tips on the condition of the
road ahead! Throughout the trip, you’ll be able
to ask the guide questions and share the experience
with your fellow drivers.
Don’t forget your camera!
On a clear day you may have the opportunity to see
Mt. McKinley. Also, keep your
eyes peeled for wildlife sightings...this is habitat
for moose, caribou and bears. You’ll enjoy a
hearty Alaskan snack at our remote base camp before
winding your
way back to civilization. INCLUDES: 4WD
Jeep Wrangler® for up to four persons, snack, round
trip transfers and souvenir pin.
