Day 1: Anchorage - Petersville Road / South Gateway Denali

Pick up your rental car and drive north on the Parks Highway towards Talkeetna and turn onto Petersville Road.

Denali complete the picture.

Day 3: Petersville Road - Denali National Park

Continue north on the Parks Highway. Stopover at Byers Lake, rent a kayak and glide through the tranquil waters.

You have time for plenty of sidetrips to explore archaeological sites, paddle wild rivers or hike the alpine tundra. The Tangle Lakes region is a land of tundra - covered rolling hills form the divide between two wild and scenic rivers, the Delta and the Gulkana. The area is home to a fabulous diversity of wildlife. Moose, black and grizzly bears, and caribou roam the open spaces and forests.

Day 6: Denali Highway - McCarthy/Kennicott (Wrangell/St. Elias Nat. Park)

More Gray Whales in Alaska

Recent scientific reports show that more gray whales were spotted this summer off the coast of Alaska than in any other year. The previous record for a full season from July through October was 18 calves, but in July 2012 alone, researchers counted more than 50 calves, according to the Alaska Fisheries Science Center. That's good news for travelers who may have whale watching on their Alaska must-see list.

To the north lies a sampling of the Arctic Alaska foothills.
