Our packed gravel roads are easy to navigate and well-labeled with street signs, thus 4WD is not necessary. Please be conscious of your speed (10 mph) through our neighborhood as it is home to many families with dogs and small children. You must have a rental car as there is no local public transportation and having a rental car will give you the ability to get to places with ease and comfort. If you do take the train to Denali, rental cars can be found locally in Healy, at "Keys to Denali"
