If it is cloudy at Denali the school bus ride will be a waste! It must be clear or mostly clear or you will not see any of the mountain. Even animals "hide" when the weather is crappy!
I am sorry but this statement is just clearly not true about the weather or the animals.
The mountain is not the only objective to the shuttle bus ride out to the end of the road.
It is a spectacularly scenic road and drive. And I have seen more animals on cloudy days than sunny ones. Including Foxes, Grizzly bears with cubs, Caribou and others.
Not only that but the Eilson visitor center is a worthy stop also.
To those heading to Denali please don't miss one of the great attractions of the entire park...the chance to get into the back country on this drive.
