Review:

Encompassing more than six million acres of Alaskan wilderness, Denali National Park is a stunningly beautiful nature preserve only accessible via the thin strip of road known as the Dalton Highway. Almost every part of the park is completely free from light pollution, so no matter where you're staying, there's an excellent chance that you'll see the aurora if you're visiting the park at the right time of year. The aurora can usually be seen here by the second week of August, but the opportunity to watch the lights is gone by the end of April each year.
