Traveling through the Denali National Park front-country by bicycle is one of the best ways to experience the park. The slower pace allows you to take in all of the sights and sounds of the park and breathe in the pleasing aromas of the pine forests, the budding wild flowers and the alpine grasses as they slowly warm under the spring and summer sunshine.
Exploring Denali by bicycle also allows you the freedom to pause and take in all the wonderful scenery and inspiring vistas around the park. You are able to take your time and explore at your own pace and convenience.
Ride all the way to Savage River (15 miles inside the park) or beyond, experiencing the wildlife and grand vistas along the way including amazing views of Denali peak (weather permitting).
If you are worried about your stamina, don’t be. Long stretches of road… steep hills… these are not a problem with an e-bike! The e-bikes provided by Bike Denali are equipped with powerful, and quiet electric motors providing pedal assist that makes it easy to charge right up the steepest hills and conquer the most intimidating stretches of road with ease and comfort.
Bike Denali has its headquaters located near Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge around 1.5 miles to the entrance to Denali National Park. You can pick up your bike and ride straight into paradise without skipping a beat.
Even if you don’t have other transportation while you are in the Denali area, you are covered with Bike Denali. The ‘E-Bike Ride With Shuttle Service’ provides shuttle transportation from local area lodging options including north to the Healy area and south to the Denali Cabins area. The shuttle will drop you off right at Bike Denali’s front door where you can embark on your journey into the park. Then, following your adventure, a shuttle will return you back to your place of lodging. (Note: Shuttle service does not currently include pick-up in the Carlo Creek area.)
Of course if you have your own means of transportation, you can select just the e-bike rental option as well.
Your e-bike rental package comes with an e-bike sized according to your stature and comfort, along with racks, panniers, bear spray with handlebar mount, bike lock, helmet and quality rain gear.
The standard rental package includes 4 hours, which for most people is adequate time to venture into the park all the way to Savage River (15 miles inside the park) without rushing your experience. However if you would like more time to take it slower, or if you wish to venture to other areas with your bike, additional hours can be added to your rental in blocks of 2 hours for $25.
