Mingo says

Aim for a clear day if the view of Denali is the reason you came. Arrive early, since sites go to whoever gets there first.

Before you go

• Bring your own firewood, since none is provided.
• Budget $20 a night for the site.
• Call the DNR Public Information Center at (907) 269-8400 with questions.
