I plan to get to denali this summer and the only option for me is to get to the backcountry. Can anyone steer me in the right direction. Which trail, a realistic amount of time, important items to bring, how to get there, etc. I will be in Alaska for about 10 weeks, time is very open. I would love to spend 1-2 weeks in Denali. Thanks

Lucky you! Denali is wonderful. No trails though, except near the park entrance. You'll be bushwhacking throughout the park - and some places are easier than others! Check out my Denali Travel Page. I give a lot of advice for backpackers in Denali and a couple of links for more info. Feel free to email me with more questions! Jason
