Meadow View Trail Details
The Rock Creek and Roadside trails run roughly parallel: the narrow (30-inches wide), gravel-paved Meadow View Trail connects the two, convenient if you get tired of the car noise on the Roadside Trail and want a bit more solitude. And yes, you do get a view of a meadow during this flat, 0.3-mile, 30-minute walk along a trail with a steep dropoff to one side. The connection allows you to create a 1.8-mile loop between the Rock Creek and Roadside trails, beginning and ending at the Denali Visitor Center.
