Home to the tallest mountain in North America, Denali National Park spans over 2 million acres in Alaska’s interior. Accessible via the Denali Highway, Parks Highway, and Alaska Railroad, this area offers vast landscapes of taiga forest, tundra, glaciers, and wildlife.

Thousands visit each year to experience hiking, camping, wildlife, and adventure tours like zip-lining, rafting, helicopter tours, and more. Denali’s seasonal town operates from May to September with lodging, dining, and tours available.
