Visitors to Alaska’s most well known national park, Denali, are often rewarded with sights that will stay with them the rest of their lives. A golden eagle may be seen soaring off the colorful cliffs at Polychrome Pass, or a herd of Dall’s sheep could be spotted resting along the green shoulder of Primrose Ridge. A massive grizzly bear might ramble over the tundra at Sable Pass. Maybe a caribou will pause on a ridgetop, silhouetted by the warm light of day’s end, or a loon will call across Wonder Lake. Perhaps the park’s famous—and often notorious—clouds will part to reveal the great massif of Denali itself, 20,320 feet high, the roof of North America.

Everyone should go to Denali National Park. There are hikes for every experience level and age (my granddad did Savage River Trail in his 90s!) and the visitor's center with tons of displays is handicapped accessible. If you really want to get deep into the park, catch a park bus out to the Eielson Visitor Center and watch the wildlife go by. Binoculars recommended.

It doesn't get any more majestic than Denali National Park. Bring your binoculars for the best wildlife viewing in the state. If you go, you'll want to plan to stay at least one night in the park or nearby, because it's quite a trek to get up there. Plan on a 6hr drive from Anchorage, or take the train! Everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime--there's no place like it on earth!

Fabulous place to be able to see wildlife and on a clear day see North America’s tallest mountain.
