Denali is six million acres of wild land, bisected by one ribbon of road.

Travelers along it see the relatively low-elevation taiga forest give way to high alpine tundra and snowy mountains, culminating in North America's tallest peak, 20,310' Denali.

Wild animals large and small roam un-fenced lands, living as they have for ages. Solitude, tranquility and wilderness await.
