My family & I visited Dog Gone It Kennels August 2018 & it was by far one of the most enjoyed excursions we tried. Since then I’ve signed up for Caitlin’s email updates & it is so fun to re-visit with them, the dogs & puppies & of course Caitlin, Mike & Max! Caitlin offers so much knowledge & fun stories on the bus ride to & from their home and during the “tour”. If you do one family excursion or sightsee one of the Alaskan kennels, do yourself a favor & choose Dog Gone It! You won’t be disappointed ????

Scenic 90-mile roadway that winds through Alaska's Denali National Park.
Reviewed By TeardropTrailrTravls
We took the Tundra Wilderness Tour, which took us along over 60 miles of Park Road. The scenery along this road is both varied and spectacular. The park was very colorful in September. Denali is visible from several locations along the road, and we were fortunate that the weather was clear and we were able to see the peak. The road also traverses several of Denali's beautiful braided rivers and climbs up the treacherous Polychrome Pass, which offers expansive views of the gorgeous landscape below.

Denali View South is located at mile 135.2 of the Parks Highway just north of Mary’s McKinley View Lodge. There is a large parking area with room for RV’s and buses as well as many vehicles. A paved walkway to the viewpoint makes access for wheelchairs very easy. There are many places along the Parks Highway where you can see Denali from but none as convenient as this.
