We don have time to drive all the way to DENALI NATIONAL PARK, can we see Mt. McKinley from here?
Actually, you can see the McKinley massif from numerous places in Anchorage: Glen Alps overview and high points throughout town. On the George Parks Highway, views of Mt. McKinley begin at about the 100 mile point. One of the best views is on the spur road to Talkeetna. From Trapper Creek north, turn-outs provide excellent views of the mountain.
