Alaska’s Most Scenic Drive

Take a journey back in time along the Denali Highway, once the only road leading to Denali National Park before the George Parks Highway was completed. Stretching from Paxson to Cantwell, this seldom-traveled gravel road offers unparalleled views of Denali (Mount McKinley) and untouched Alaskan wilderness. Ranked the #2 “Drive of a Lifetime” by National Geographic Traveler, this scenic byway is a must for adventurers seeking off-the-beaten-path exploration and prime wildlife viewing.

The Ultimate Denali Viewpoint

For some of the most jaw-dropping views of Denali (Mount McKinley), head south along the George Parks Highway to the small town of Cantwell. Stop at the historic Cantwell Lodge, famous for its annual Bluegrass festival, then continue as the road climbs into the Alaska Range. This section of the highway, known for its vast open tundra and cinematic landscapes, was featured in the movie Into the Wild. With frequent caribou, Dall sheep, and bear sightings, this drive is a photographer’s dream.

Follow Alaska’s Gold Rush Trails

Drive north along the George Parks Highway, through the dramatic Nenana River Canyon, and cross Windy Bridge, the highest bridge on the highway. As you approach Healy, you’ll see the Usibelli Coal Mine, Alaska’s only active coal mine. For history buffs, a detour down Stampede Road offers a glimpse into Alaska’s gold rush past—this historic mining trail was once a major route for transporting gold and antimony from the Kantishna Hills. Stampede Road is also famous as the real-life setting of Into the Wild.
