Bear Safety
As you explore park trails and wilderness areas, be aware of bears. You are safer hiking with a group of people. Do not run from a bear. In areas of low visibility, make noise to avoid surprising the bear.
Approaching Wildlife
Do not feed any wild animals, including birds. It is unhealthy for them and will make them become more aggresive. Feeding wild animals may even cause death or serious injuries.
Cyclists
Cyclists may ride on park roads, parking areas, campground loops and the designated Bike Trail between the Nenana River and the Denali Visitor Center.
