Sure Sign Of Spring: DOT Announces You Can Drive On The Denali Highway
During the winter, the Denali Highway and the McCarthy Road are not plowed by DOT. And the Department of Transportation website, 511, shows them as closed in winter to road travel.
But spring has come. The snow has melted. The DOT trucks have been out – and the 135-mile long Denali Highway, from Paxson (in the Copper Valley) to Cantwell (on the Parks Highway) is open for the summer season.
