Cynthia and I just returned from a week up in Alaska, mostly around Denali National Park. Encompassing 6,000,000 acres, roughly the size of Massachusetts, it is one of the largest nature parks on the planet. It includes most of the Alaska Range with Mt. McKinley(Mt.Denali to Alaskans) being the crown jewel.
Unlike the National Parks in the “lower 48”, there is only one road, one way, into the park. You can only drive on the first 18 miles of the 92 mile road, and then you must board one of the Buses provided by the park service to travel the remaining 74 miles of unpaved road over some of the wildest and untouched country you will ever see.
