Guided trip with Denali Dog Sled Expeditions arrive at Sushana (Into the Wild) Bus

Five sled dog teams arrive at the Sushana River Bus on the Stampede Trail near Denali National Park, the same bus that Chris McCandless lived in as portrayed by the book/movie "Into The Wild". Denali Dog Sled Expeditions runs overnight trips via dog team all winter out the Stampede Trail, stopping by the Bus for those interested in the story.

No, the bus is still there. Some pieces have been taken as trophies, and the dash was taken out a few years ago and sold on ebay. There has been a proposal to remove the bus, due to the increase in summer hiker visitation, and the danger of crossing the Teklanika River when the water level is high. Most locals believe that sooner or later, some unprepared hiker will fall in the river and drown, hence the interest in bringing the bus out to the road corridor. This won't likely happen.

If they did take the bus out it would ruin a major tourist attraction for Alaska and a National monument.

This is like a painting, a work of art! Beautiful.

Hey thanks for posting this video. I really want to hike up to the bus sometime in the next year. Is it in pretty rough shape?

That sucks that people take stuff from it and vandalize it.

Does anyone know when the best time to cross the tek river is?

Hopefully they don't remove the bus, I think it should stay there forever.
