GET AWAY: If you've already cruised Alaska's Inside Passage, return to see the state's magnificent interior. Denali National Park, 140 miles north of Anchorage, is home to Mount McKinley (also called Denali) — at 20,320 feet, North America's highest mountain. Wildlife from grizzly bears to moose live in the 6-million-acre park; in summer, bright wildflowers carpet the plains. The 91-mile Denali Park Road allows access to shuttle buses, bicyclists and hikers; private vehicles are not allowed past mile 15. The park is open year-round, but for the widest choice of accommodations and restaurants, visit from mid-May to mid-September.
