I recommend getting there by 9 AM to beat the crowds. It was beautiful and quiet in the morning, plus the lighting for photos is way better!
I think it's worth packing a lunch. The snack bar there is decent but overpriced, and sitting on the glacier with a sandwich is cool for sure!
If you're planning to rent gear for ice climbing do it ahead of time online. I found it cheaper and more convenient than renting onsite where they seemed a bit short on sizes!

My advice is to bring your own gear if you can. Renting there can be super pricey, and the options are limited. Next time, I'll pack better to save cash and have more fun!
Midnight Sun Paragliding

Denali Highway
1.5
My advice is to pack a lunch and some snacks! There aren’t many places to grab a bite along the highway, so save some cash and enjoy a picnic with stunning views. I wish I had brought more snacks last time
Alaska Raceway Park

If you’re planning to watch the races I suggest arriving around 5 PM. The parking lot fills up faster than you’d expect and you want to score a good spot to see everything without straining your neck.
