Savage Alpine Trailhead - Healy, Alaska

Gianna Libonati

BEST HIKE IN DENALI NP!! IT WAS SO FUN!! This time of the year, the colors are so vibrant and then you walk into the snowy mountain!! I rated it moderate because it was only challenging in the beginning from the savage river loop side! Ahhh 100% recommend!!

If you’re traveling to Denali national Park, and want to do a hike. This is the most epic hike in the park in my opinion.
You can get to the parking area by your own personal vehicle without taking any buses. Or you can take a bus if you would like.
Once you get there, the hike is about 4 miles each way so 8 miles round-trip if you do the entire thing.
The views are stunning, beautiful, and to be honest some of the most epic landscape photos you can ever experience.
This is a strenuous hike that goes up 1500 feet in elevation
I did it with my two kids, highly recommended, especially when you get to the top of the photos are epic.

It's a point to point ~4 mile hike with about 1500 feet elevation gain.. I would consider it's moderate to hard.. trails are very well maintained.. it connects the savage river area with a savage campground..I started it from a mountain visa stop. There is limited parking available to trail head ..taking the savage river shuttle is preferred (to avoid the wait time for parking).. if you have time you can also do savage river loop hike/walk as well ...it's worth doing Savage Alpine hike, views won't disappoint you.. one of the must do..

It's not a easy trail. It's a little bit steep. It took us 2-3 hours to finish the whole trail. It's tired but it's totally worth it. The view along the trail is gorgeous and although it's cloudy and rainy, we still can see the colorful wilderness. If it's cloudy, there are lots of rainbow.

蠻難的?挺陡，爬起來很累，但很值得。全程大約2-3小時，沿途景色很漂亮，染上秋色的大地一覽無遺。一路上不多人，可以安安靜靜感受當下的心情，細細體會身處廣大荒原的震撼。

Nice and well maintained trail that is pretty flat, short and family friendly. The views of the Alaska Range paired with the river make for magnificent views. When we hiked on this trail in August, we saw a grizzly bear sleeping right outside of the trail, so definitely beware!

Sehr schöner Wanderweg, gut ausgebaut. Meine Empfehlung beim Fluss starten und am Ende des Weges den Shuttlebus zur Busstation nehmen, dann hat man das steile Stück schnell hinter sich. Vom höchsten Punkt aus, eine wunderbare Aussicht auf den Park.

Great 4+ mile hike. Great views. Recommend starting at the bridge to tackle the steeper part of the hike. Going up the steep part of this hike, is better for your knees.
Mid June to end of June, Great flowers.

I caught some good weather and the views were awesome. I would recommend starting from the East end of the trail as the ascent is much less agressive than the West end. There are several good spots to take a break and get out of wind if you need it. I would recommend this trail to anyone who likes to hike and can hadle a short section of steep switch backs.
