Denali Hwy

Driving and hiking along the Denali Highway is one of the coolest things to do in Alaska. We were lucky and had sunshine for the start of the trip, although it rained on us before the day was over (big surprise). The dirt road goes along the southern edge of the Alaska Range, so you have fabulous views the entire trip, and all the land pretty much on either side is state owned so you can get out and just start walking. There are lots of marked trails and plenty of unmarked trails, enough to keep a person busy for years. And the area is perfect for multi-day backpack trips, you only have to walk a few miles to find totally secluded beautiful lakeside spots.
