Denali is the highest peak in all of Alaska and the highest mountain in North America. Unfortunately, because the mountain is tall enough to generate its own weather, it isn’t always easy to catch a glimpse of those majestic peaks. Here are three ways you can see beautiful views of Denali, and why choosing the right hotel can help. 

3 Ways to See Denali

1. On a Drive

Although many people assume you have to be up-close and personal to Denali to see terrific shots of the mountain, you might be able to find fantastic places to view the mountain a few blocks from your hotel on a drive. Locations throughout Anchorage have wonderful views of Denali, including George Parks Highway. 

2. By Flight Tour 

hotelOn the other hand, if you are seeking a little more of an adventure, you can’t go wrong with a flight tour. By traveling via small plane or helicopter, you can enjoy a chartered tour of the mountain range. Talk with your hotel concierge about the ones they recommend the most, and then head back to your room in the evening for some delicious room service. 

3. On a Hike

You can also enjoy fantastic views of Denali by enjoying one of the many hiking trails in the area, including Savage River Loop Trail, Horseshoe Lake Trail, or Triple Lakes Trail. If you are going to be hiking, talk with the front desk at your hotel to make sure you are going at a good time of year and that you have everything you need to stay safe during the excursion.
