This is the Denali & the Interior chapter from Lonely Planet’s Alaska guidebook.

Adventures are served up raw in this part of the state, or barbecued with a pint of handcrafted beer. The best of the Interior can be found forging a trail alone down a braided riverbed, but once-in-a-lifetime encounters with natural wonders can also be had from the seat of a rumbling park bus. Denali National Park is blessed with the continent’s mightiest mountain, abundant megafauna and easy access.
