Denali ATV Trailblazer 3.5 Hour Tour
Description
Get out and ride in the Alaskan Boreal Forest! Traveling at speeds up to 30 mph, maneuver through the taiga to picturesque panoramas of the Alaska Range. Observe glacial moraines and historic archaeological dig sites while navigating tree rutted trails, mountain-fed creek beds, and boggy tundra. Spend more time riding on the trail than any other Denali area off-road adventure tour. You may learn how to make fireweed tea, leave with a blueberry smile, or even chat about survival. Periodic stops are made for photography and wildlife sightings. Tackle the terrain in a single-rider ATV or share the thrill in a multi-passenger side-by-side ATV. Trails are challenging for all experience levels. Total tour covers about 20 miles with 2½ hours on the trails.

We had such a great time on the UTV tour. Splash and Canon were awesome tour guides..so funny! It rained on our tour but we still had a blast splashing through the mud. Highly recommend!!
A wind blew heavy drops of rain across the mountain tops beating out a syncopated rhythm against the roof of the side-by-side UTV. River water splashed clean the mud on the windshield as our guide, Tommy, expertly wound through 'Dry Creek', which was anything but dry! Ravines, rocks, raging water and long hill climbs were no match for the machine and Tommy's knowledge of the terrain. Always managing pace, which for us we went all out (but always with safety in mind) and he'll let you decide our fast or slow to go! Tommy was always keeping an eye on his guests, taking time to squeegee the windshield and attentive without being solicitous. Stopping at interesting points along the way Tommy showed he was just as adept at the local lore as he was at careening through the mountain trails. This is definitely a ride you want to take! Make sure to ask about 'Troup Ridge' when you get to the Healy overlook!
Charlie and Cannon were great leaders. We stopped several time to inform us what and where we were going. They had the customer in mind and did a great job of making sure we were all having fun and we were safe. I would do this again.
We had an amazing time with Denali ATV Adventures! Our guides, Radiator and Rock Bottom, were fantastic—knowledgeable, fun, and made the entire experience both exciting and safe. They shared interesting facts about the area, kept the group entertained, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the ride. The scenery was incredible, and the ATV adventure was definitely one of the highlights of our Alaska trip. Highly recommend Denali ATV Adventures, especially if you get Radiator and Rock Bottom as your guides!
We had a fabulous time riding the old gold rush and coal mining roads just outside of the Denali National Park! My 18 and 20 year old daughters road Koduak four wheelers and my hubs and I switched off driving the side by side! It was super well co-ordinated and a great activity for a family to do all together! Young seasonal guides were awesome! Fun seasonal street names too! Radiator and Canon (can’t remember his street name) were cool young men!! Would totally repeat this experience for sure! The Rainy day was perfect!!
Very friendly guides and the trip was somewhat adventurous. No encounters with wildlife.
If I could give a higher rating I would. I had a great time. I'm a senior citizen and have never driven an ATV before so I asked to be a passenger. I was placed with Jacob the guide. I had a blast!! It was so much fun. Plus we saw beautiful country. Double plus -- Splash Mountain. Highly recommend for all
Aiden and Charlie were the best guides ever and took us on an amazing trip. Their knowledge of the area was top notch and we had a great time.
This was the best ATV tour ever. We did the private tour with a group of 10. Rooster and Roadkill are the best tour guides. We had more fun on this tour than the many others we have done. You can not go wrong with this tour.
We had lots of fun, our favorite part was driving through the water. The guides Rooster and Roadkill were nice and told good stories when we were stopped. They took some photos of us which we appreciated. The one thing I would change would be length of trip, considering the cost I would’ve hoped that we would get longer, I’d also opt for less stops. The bus with some of our group came at least 15 minutes after 10am which was our booked time and then we had a safety chat and put helmets on and didn’t leave on the atvs until around 10:35am, we got back at the start point at 1:15pm and gave our guide our helmets and were in our car before 1:20pm. It was supposed to be 3.5 hours long. I think it would’ve maybe been better to rent a side by side and go alone so you can free range as we had to stay together and stayed under 10mph most of the trip but it was nice to be shown some cool spots by them and to get told some history. I think our guide said we went about 15 miles in our trip
