More than a mountain Denali is six million acres of wild land, bisected by one ribbon of road. Travelers along it see the relatively low-elevation taiga forest give way to high alpine tundra and snowy mountains, culminating in North America's tallest peak, 20,320' Mount McKinley. Wild animals large and small roam unfenced lands, living as they have for ages. Solitude, tranquility and wilderness await.
The trail crossed several different types of landscapes and it was a fun trail to hike. The end of the trail is a river bank and it gives a unblocked view of Denali. Unfortunately it was cloudy when we got there. Saw footprints of bears, old though.
We used the trail to walk to the park sled dog demonstration. It's an easy trail to walk even with the elevation changes. There are some great views of the valley along the way.
Gets you back to the paved path into the canyon
Easy way to see some of DNP and the vegetation with out going "in" to the park
The best way to get out to the sled-dog kennels without hopping on a bus. And a few spots for a decent view.
Nice forest walk. Better trails should be explored first. Skippable.
Taiga trail is not really a hiking destination trail. It is an access trail that links other trails.
nice easy trail
lots of blueberries
