The largest mountain in North America, Mount McKinley, located in spectacular Denali National Park offers unsurpassed experiences for hikers and backcountry enthusiasts. Choose a day hike, mountain bike excursion, or the "Crown Jewel" of adventures, a month-long mountaineering expedition to the summit of Mount McKinley. Each is sure to be an experience of a lifetime!
While visiting the southcentral region of Alaska, you will find at least four mountain ranges within driving distance of Anchorage. You can go for day hikes in the mountains of Chugach State Park or go for multi-day excursions to the Matanuska-Susitna Valley and the Kenai Peninsula, both offer a variety of exciting adventures including, camping, hiking, fishing, backpacking, mountain biking, river kayaking, rafting and much more.
Heading west, sea kayaking among the remote and untamed Aleutians will bring countless coves and delightful views of sea otters and puffins. Here you can experience untamed coastal regions, wild rivers, granite peaks and majestic glaciers. Or explore the rugged beauty of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve - 4 million acres of expansive wilderness.
The north country offers a variety of unique Alaskan experiences, explore the history and culture of Alaska's native people, raft down the Yukon river, pan for gold in Fairbanks or cross the Arctic Circle as you head up the Dalton Highway to the tip of Alaska's far north.
At the opposite end is Alaska's inside passage, where you can discover the vast, unspoiled coastline by kayak as brown bears forage for food along the beaches; enjoy diverse mountain ranges, spectacular glaciers and the extensive Alaskan rain forest. When you're done, you can sit back and contemplate on the variety of species of birds you saw just in one day!
