Review & FAQ:

Home to Mount McKinley (6,200mt), North America’s highest mountain, Denali National Park and Reserve can be found just north of Anchorage. Covering more than 2.4 million hectares, you would need a lifetime to fully explore this remote wilderness. Taking a plane or helicopter tour from Anchorage is the best way to admire the park. If you prefer to keep your feet on the ground you can enjoy wonderful hiking and biking as well as fishing and camping in summer, when most people visit. Wildlife watching can be sensational - just a small example of the wildlife you could expect to see in the park includes bald eagle, grizzly bears, wolves and moose.
