More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave Anchorage before dawn and the highway opens like a long ribbon through spruce and birch. The road eats up miles while the Alaska Range pushes clouds aside and, on a clear day, Denali pins the horizon with a cold, sharp presence. This is a long day on pavement—roughly 360 miles and about seven hours of driving—so the rhythm is stops, views, and steady forward motion.
