  • CAN I WALK TO MY PARK BUS TOUR?
    Yes, you can. The park's entrance is about a mile or a 20 minute walk. It’s a long day on the bus and many people prefer to walk. You also have the option of walking one way and taking the Dine Denali Shuttle back. As a Crow's Nest guest you will receive a free pass.
