10 Things to do Good for Couples in Denali National Park and Preserve That You Shouldn't Miss

July 9, 2021 Hana Mouser

Denali National Park and Preserve is most famous for being the home of Mount McKinley, also called Denali, meaning "The Great One." At 20,320 feet, Mount McKinley is the highest peak in North America. The park, which is larger than the state of Massachusetts, has only one road, making it the perfect backcountry adventure. Try to spot The Big Five: moose, caribou, Dall sheep, wolves and grizzly bears.

Nothing I can say about Denali will be worth the experience. Alaska was a ' bucket list' experience, and Denali was the crown jewel of the experience. Neither disappointed. Alaska was fantastic, Denali was amazing and awe inspiring, and I would do it again, sooner instead of later. Go, and prepare to be wowed by your experience.

My husband and I did a 2 hour trail ride during our honeymoon and this was definitely a major highlight for us. The scenery was gorgeous, our guide was great with instruction, full of knowledge and my favorite part was clicking with my horse, Tuff. I would absolutely recommend a trail ride with DHT to anyone.
