Denali Highway, Alaska: Wilderness Along the Alaska Range

he Denali Highway, a 135-mile stretch of road from Paxson to Cantwell, takes you into some of the wildest regions of Alaska, under the shadow of the Alaska Range. There's excellent grayling fishing along the entire route, and as the road winds along, it has hundreds of spectacular viewpoints, and provides a good opportunity for seeing wildlife. The first twenty miles of the road are paved to Tangle Lakes, and there are two campgrounds at the end of the paved road.
