Summer is the most popular time to visit Denali National Park since it gives you the most access to the park. Their core season runs from mid-June to mid-September with visitation at its highest from mid-June to mid-August.

By early August, tundra plants start changing to brilliant reds, orange, and yellows, and the berries are also out, meaning more chances to see bears. Plus, the vicious mosquitoes are gone from most of the park (except for Wonder Lake).

August is towards the end of their rainy season, so the hope is to catch the park with lighter crowds at the end of August and still get a glimpse of the majestic Denali peak. You also get around 15 hours of daylight, which means you can pack in your day with adventures.

Pro Tip: Be sure to familiarize yourself with the bus system since you need to use it to access the park. Check out the details here.
