During early May and late September, when the park road is still not fully accessible due to the harsh Alaskan winters, a modified Tundra Wilderness Tour, called the Teklanika Tour, is available. This tour mirrors the Tundra Wilderness Tour, however, only travels 30-miles into the park and is 4-5 hours in length. Once the park road has full access, the tour will automatically be converted to the Tundra Wilderness Tour.
