Jonesville Trail Details

Not so much a hiking trail as a pedestrian connection between Riley Creek Campground and the Nenana Canyon ("Glitter Gulch") business district just outside the park, where you'll find the Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge, the McKinley Chalet Resort, Prospectors Pizzeria and Alehouse, and other food, lodging and activities. The gravel trail is just 0.3 miles but a somewhat steep, 10-minute walk, with a 150-foot elevation drop from west to east. Connect to the Jonesville Trail at the Bike Path, near Riley Creek Mercantile.
