Fees & Passes Details

Denali National Park and Preserve, with its majestic landscapes and unique wildlife, offers a variety of entrance options to accommodate the diverse needs of its visitors. The standard entrance fee is $15 per person, which grants access to the park for seven consecutive days. This fee structure allows visitors to explore the vast wilderness of Denali, including its iconic landscapes and wildlife, over an extended period, making the most of their visit. For educational groups seeking to experience Denali's natural wonders as part of their learning journey, there's an opportunity to have the entrance fees waived. This provision is aimed at encouraging educational visits and making the park more accessible to students and educators. The process requires submission of an application at least two weeks in advance, with specific qualifications outlined in the National Park Service (NPS) application. This effort underscores the park's commitment to education and the role of national parks as invaluable outdoor classrooms. For those who frequent Denali or plan to explore other federal public lands within the United States, purchasing an annual pass offers significant value. At $45, the annual pass provides access to Denali for a single, private, non-commercial vehicle for one year from the month of purchase. This pass is ideal for regular visitors, offering a cost-effective and convenient way to enjoy the park throughout the seasons. The America the Beautiful pass, available for $80, extends the value even further. This pass grants access not only to Denali but to all federal public lands across the country for one year. It represents an excellent investment for outdoor enthusiasts who plan to visit multiple parks, forests, and wildlife refuges, offering unlimited entry to some of the nation's most cherished natural landscapes.
