      At mile 46 on the Denali Park road is the Polychrome Overlook. There are no facilities here, just a wide spot in the road large enough for the tour buses to pull over. From this vantage point, you get a spectacular view of the Polychrome Mountains, a ...

      The only easily accessible location in Denali National Park to capture a photo of Mt. Denali reflected in the still waters of an alpine lake is Reflection Pond. But there's more to it than simply getting there: the mountain has to be clear, and on any given day, the odds are 2 to 1 against you, especially in summer. ...

      As if the intensively Western-themed decor isn't impressive enough, if you spend a night in the El Rancho, you'll be sleeping in a room where some Hollywood icon or other has slept. The hotel was for many years a favorite lodging place for movie stars in the area to film westerns. The photos of ...

      Chena Hot Springs Resort has been a Fairbanks favorite for generations, since they first opened for business in 1911. The central attraction is the thermal spring, which puts out a steady flow of mineral rich water, naturally heated to a steamy 106 degrees Fahrenheit (41 C). The property has been developed into a full service resort with guest rooms, a campground, restaurant, geothermal energy exhibits, and more. ...

      McCarthy road runs for 60 miles, from Chitina to the tiny hamlet of McCarthy, deep within the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. The drive traverses pure wilderness, and ends in a surprise: five miles beyond the end of the road in McCarthy is Kennecott, a once bustling mill town in the middle of nowhere that was completely abandoned ...
