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.

Denali

America's tallest peak, this 20,320-foot mountain is the most famous part of this national park.

Reviewed By KeithH911 - Boones Mill, United States

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.
