For many years, the yellow buses operated by Tundra Tours School Bus Compay, earned their keep in summer by being the only way to see Denali Park by road.

Almost every visitor commented on the sensation of being packed off on a long school trip, thought the seats seemed harder and smaller than those they remembered. And the animals they encountered were definitely not team mascots.

These days, the buses are a bit more comfortable, but otherwise, the travelers haven't changed all that much!
