About the Denali Highway
The Denali Highway is one most scenic drives in the United
States. This well-maintained 135 mile route connects the Richardson
Highway with the Parks Highway enroute to Denali National
Park.
Prior to the completion of the Parks Highway in 1971, the
Denali was the only route to the Park. The first 20 miles
of the eastern end of the is paved to Tangle Lakes, a good
gravel roadway takes over for the remaining 110 miles.
Travelers will set their only leisurely pace while traversing
the only alpine tundra available on the road system in Southcentral
Alaska.
The view from the Maclaren Summit is an awe-inspiring panorama
of Alaska Range peaks and the Maclaren Glacier---almost close
enough to touch!
