Mooses Tooth-Ham and Eggs and Shaken Not Stirred are remarkable alpine ice routes that offer climbers a thrilling high-altitude experience. These routes can be accessed from the Root Canal or the lower Ruth Gorge, providing flexibility depending on other objectives in the area. The technical nature of these climbs, combined with the dramatic alpine environment, makes them a favorite among experienced ice climbers seeking challenging and scenic objectives. Each route demands careful planning, precise technique, and a solid understanding of ice climbing skills to navigate the complex terrain safely.
Despite some routes in the range being more accessible, the commitment and challenge of climbing in this area require adequate time for a successful experience. A minimum of a solid week in the region is recommended to allow for proper acclimatization, weather windows, and route preparation. This time frame gives climbers a realistic opportunity to attempt ascents while managing risks associated with high-altitude alpine climbing. Planning for multiple days also allows flexibility to respond to changing conditions, making the experience safer and more rewarding for all participants.

Although our visit was after the park had reduced services due to the start of the winter season, there were still some hikes that we could take and we were able to drive a private car into the park for a longer distance. That being said, the park was doing maintenance on the road past mile 15 which limited the ability to actually drive further into the park. It was confusing about paying for admission as there were only QR codes around and cell service was spotty. We purchased two tickets but it looks like we probably didn't have to at that time of year. No one was checking. Having a proper ticket. Suggest making this a little more easy for visitors to understand. There is very limited parking at any of the trailheads, so we can only imagine that it would be quite crowded and impossible to park during the high season.

Bus ride was informative and fun. Went late morning and returned late afternoon for a better chance to see Mt Denali. Opportunity to see different wildlife while there. The singing Ranger was a nice surprise!

Most people come here thinking they are going to see Mount Denali but forget there is a huge park also associated with the area not just the mountain. You have to be a hiking fan for this park there is not much else available. Just down the road is a huge tourist trap with tons of souvenir shops and places to visit

That place was incredible. Some of the views are outstanding and you can really see everything on a clear day. The wildlife is also really wonderful. We had a phenomenal time. I would recommend it to anybody.

I took a narrated bus tour. The tour guide was absolutely the best. He did everything he could to make the experience the best and accomplished it. The park is amazing to say the least. I would recommend taking a tour. Well worth the money.
