Family Overview: Denali National Park and Denali State Park, Alaska

North America's highest peak, 20,230-foot Mount McKinley, seems to split the sky of the vast Alaska interior.

This dramatic landscape contains snowcapped mountains, glaciers, frozen tundra, spruce forests, and lakes where grizzly bears, moose, wolves, and Dall sheep roam. It's a place where families could spend a week and harvest a lifetime of experiences. Read More
