World-famous Denali National Park in Alaska is best known for being home to the 20,310-foot Denali Peak, North America's tallest mountain.

The first known ascent of the mountain occurred in 1913, and since then, the challenging peak has attracted mountaineers from all over the world.

All climbers must register with the Denali National Park and Preserve at least 60 days before they attempt the ascent, but even getting the chance to see the peak is a highlight of the park for most visitors.

Only one road goes through the park; visitors can choose to drive themselves or take one of the many available buses.
