Rest of the day at leisure to explore on own

Located in Southcentral Alaska on the shores of Cook Inlet, the Municipality of Anchorage is a unique urban environment situated in the heart of the wilderness. There’s a special mystique to Alaska. The name conjures up adventure, raw natural beauty — glaciers, mountains and seas, unmatched the world around — fascinating wildlife, a unique cultural heritage, and independent, pioneering people. Here you will find four-star restaurants and small cafes, an outstanding Museum of History and Art and a multitude of other fun activities.
Enjoy downtown shopping at any of the artist hot spots, or relax and enjoy the nightlife of Anchorage. Infamous restaurants dot the downtown area and offer wonderful opportunities to enjoy everything from fresh salmon to prime rib. Be sure to get to sleep early, as tomorrow is the start of your tour.

Drive north towards Denali National Park, 250 miles away from Anchorage. The majesty of the park is worth the long drive.  You will enjoy its vast wilderness and peaks sprinkled with snow.
Everything about Denali National Park is big: the scenery, the mountains, the incredible beauty and the animals.

Day 3
Denali Park Shuttle Tour, an excellent way to spot the wildlife for which Alaska is so famous: moose, bear, wolves, caribou, dall sheep.
The bus stops every 1 hr 10 min. for restrooms and whenever wildlife is sighted as you travel. Opened in June 2008 the completely reconstructed Eielson Visitor Center was built as sustainable construction and features informative interpretive exhibits. This is the turnaround point, allowing 30 minutes to explore the visitor center or the surrounding area with a short hike. This shuttle time is 8 hours roundtrip, including all stops. AAU arranges for and includes a boxed lunch and beverage for the trip. So bring your camera and binoculars.
Mount McKinley National Park was established in 1917 to protect its large mammals, not because of majestic Mt. McKinley. In 1980, the boundary was expanded to include both the Denali caribou herds wintering and calving ground and the entire Mt. McKinley massif. This more than tripled the size of the park, and was renamed Denali National Park and Preserve. It was also designated an International Biosphere Reserve significant for the potential for sub-arctic ecosystem research.
Denali is an Athabascan word meaning “The High One”. The mountain is officially named Mt. McKinley but is also referred to as Denali. Mt. McKinley is the highest peak in North America at 20,320 feet. It creates its own weather system and is often covered in clouds. Mt. McKinley is only visible about 1/3 of the time, so visitors to the park only have about a 30% chance of viewing Mt. McKinley.

Day 4:  Fairbanks for 1 night
Take the route that follows the pipeline and crosses Alaska, from Prudhoe Bay in the north to Valdez in the south.  This is a scenic road made of rough landscapes and dominated by Mount McKinley in the background.
On the way, stop in the small town of Healy before reaching Fairbanks.
The second largest city in Alaska, this former trading post founded on the banks of the Chena River still retains evidence of the Gold Rush.
Experience the Alaska of 100 years! Pioneer Park is an historic village that features original buildings moved from downtown Fairbanks, as well as museums and a Gold Rush town street. But it’s also a theme park with a carousel and train that runs the perimeter, shops, and restaurants.

Accommodation at A Taste of Alaska Lodge
Located in Fairbanks, close enough to take advantage of the city yet far enough from town to view the Northern Lights.
A Taste of Alaska Lodge offers accommodation with a patio or a balcony, free WiFi and flat-screen TV, as well as a garden.
A buffet breakfast is available daily at the lodge.
