Why you should go…
Six million acres of Interior Alaska surround Denali, the highest mountain in North America at 20,310 feet. One road runs 92 miles into the park and only the first 15 are paved. In summer you can drive your own car as far as Savage River, then buses carry visitors deeper to watch for bears, moose, caribou, sheep and wolves. Clouds often hide the summit, so a clear view of the mountain is a matter of luck.
