12Denali National Park, Alaska
This national park is named for its biggest attraction, majestic Mount Denali. It is 20,320 feet tall and the highest mountain in the nation. High adventure enthusiasts are drawn here for its remote campsites and backcountry hiking trails.
Denali is the home of such wildlife as brown bears, caribou, elk, and more. Take the two-mile loop trail that runs by Savage River if you prefer a less challenging trail. If you want to go deeper into the more remote areas, sign on for one of the different ranger-guided hikes. You’ll learn about the park’s cultural history, geology, and fascinating flora and fauna too. You can also enjoy a popular tundra wilderness tour if you really want to see caribou, coyotes, grizzly bears, moose, and wolves as well.
