Almost everyone who comes to Alaska includes a visit to Denali National Park on their “must see and do” list. Not only is Denali North America’s tallest peak, but Denali National Park hosts abundant ecosystems and is home to diverse wildlife, tundra landscapes and colorful wildflowers and migrating birds throughout the summer.
Photographers will delight in this explorer’s paradise where iconic shots of grizzly bears, Dall sheep, caribou, moose, and even sometimes a Denali wolf can be had. Get the scoop in our story about Alaska wildlife at home in Denali National Park.
When you fly into Alaska, you can’t help but be awed by Alaska’s vast wilderness of mountainous landscapes. Denali is a centerpiece to be sure, but you’ll also enjoy so many other majestic peaks on your travels here – from Mt. Saint Elias to volcanic Mt. Redoubt.
If you’re Denali-bound from Anchorage, our 3-day Visit Anchorage to Denali tour it is a great way to see all of Denali’s highlights along with a return trip on the Alaska Railroad. Bonus!
And perhaps the best way to see Alaska’s mountain peaks is from a bird’s eye view – flightseeing. A great day-trip from Anchorage is our Glacier and Wildlife Flightseeing excursion which treats you to spectacular hanging glaciers, Knik or Triumvirate Glacier, Colony Glacier and Knik Glacier Gorge.
