Denali

Denali is highest peak in North America.

Parks and geographic landmarks are the most common attractions on the list. The extreme wilderness of Denali National Park in Alaska, a 6 million-acre preserve with beautiful views, diverse wildlife and North America’s tallest mountain is the top Instagrammed location in Alaska.

The only e-bikes allowed in Denali are two- or three-wheeled cycles with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts (1 horsepower).

The route is often dusty, there are no shoulders or bicycle lanes on any section of the Denali Park Road, sightlines are often poor, and cyclists will encounter frequent bus, private vehicle, RV, and heavy equipment traffic on both the paved and gravel sections of roadway.

Denali National Park and Preserve assumes no responsibility for any damages accrued to bicycles by wildlife or other park visitors.

Carry bear spray and have it accessible on your body — not in your pack or pannier. Bring your own or rent from the Alaska Geographic Book Store near the Denali Visitor Center. You can also buy bear spray in the Nenana River Canyon commercial area.

Mount McKinley was known to Russians as Bulshaia and to the natives of Cook Inlet as Traleyka. Both names signify 'high' or 'big mountain.' The natives of the interior know it as Denali.
