Denali National Park is vast with six million acres of wilderness crossed by one ribbon of road only. Travelers along the road can see the low-elevation taiga forest change to high alpine tundra and snowy mountains, finally ending in North America's tallest mountain peak, 20,310-foot tall Denali. Boasting incredibly scenic views, Denali Park Road is 92 miles long and made mostly of dirt and gravel. In the summer, private vehicles are allowed to drive the first 15 miles of the road up to Savage River. Beyond Savage River visitors have to use the park’s narrated and non-narrated buses. Most of the park’s six million acres are undeveloped, with a number of trails that lead off the park road into the wilderness. There are six campgrounds but no lodge or hotel.
