If you want to experience the vastness of Alaska, Denali Highway (SR 8) is ideal. From Cantwell, this remote, gravel road traverses land between the Alaska Range to the north and the Talkeetna Mountains to the south. At 4,086-foot MacLaren Summit, you’ll be treated to sights of MacLaren Glacier and a panorama of mountain peaks. The byway closes October to mid-May.
