If your main purpose is Denali National Park, then do your research very carefully. They go out of their way to make visitors jump through many hoops to see more than just the visitors center. If you do not reserve your activities, including just viewing the park, you will leave very disappointed.
I have no idea what you mean????
Yes, you need a reservation for the bus tour. No, it's not difficult to get. If you take the bus to Wonder Lake you can see why they don't want hundreds of cars on that road. As far as other reservations, we got 5 nights at Teklanika campground and reserved it about three weeks prior when we were closer to the park. We got an additional 5 nights in Riley Creek campground without a reservation.
If those are hoops to jump through, then we were more than satisfied.
X2 They are not making people jump through hoops. They are trying to accommodate the thousand of people that come mostly by Tour Bus and Cruise Ship (Yes Denali is an optional trip from the cruise ports)and still try not to overrun the park with vehicles and scare off the animals those thousands of people came to see.
It amazes me how few people STOP and THINK about a situation and try to see all sides of it before complaining.
