Heading to Castner Glacier? Great! Check out this map first! This map shows the area near Richardson Hwy MP 217.5 (N of Denali Hwy, S of Delta Junction). Please park at the pull-out south of the bridge. If you must, you can also park just SE of the bridge behind the guardrail.

Denali Highway fans we're happy to announce that the road is open! Our crews just finished clearing the 135-mile road between Paxson and Cantwell so that you can enjoy access to the central Alaska Range all summer. As always check for road conditions.
