1) 坐直升飞机观光 Talkeetna Air Taxi
有三种选择,价格不同,时间越长越贵。A) Denali最高峰南面转个小圈 B)Denali最高峰南面转个大一点的圈 C) 绕着Denali最高峰转个大圈。如果在某个冰峰顶上下来走个十来分钟,加100多美金。TRIPADVISOR上看了一些评论,总结是喜欢看风景的,时间长一些,值得。下冰峰走路,钱花的冤。钱多的除外。
因为坐直升飞机需要看天气,如果天气不好,就不合适。我们准备

2) 去公园路上的重点 Denali Viewpoint South(at Mile 134.7 of the Parks Highway)
Offers the best panorama of Mount McKinley along the road system。
3) 去公园路上的重点 Hurrican Gulch Bridge ( At Mile 174)
The Hurricane Gulch Bridge is a 918 ft (280 m) long steel arch railroad bridge that crosses Hurricane Gulch, Alaska. It is located at milepost 284.2, counting from Seward. At 296 ft above the Hurricane creek, it is both the longest and tallest bridge on the entire Alaska 。
4) 去公园路上的重点 Igloo At Mile 188.5
It is a giant unfinished wooden structure that is covered in white foam. It is an Alaskan motel, that never made it. So it sits and rots! It is a road side marker for those driving north on the Parks Highway from Anchorage to Denali State Park. It is a conversation piece! It is The Igloo!
Anyone seeing it for the first time, is sure to stop. Wander across the snow to look inside and you will see, nothing! It is massive in size! It is empty! It was never finished! It has no fire escape! It is the motel that never made it.
1) 走Denali Highway(http://www.denalihwy.com/area/denali-highway), 从Cantwell 到 Paxson。
"Also known as Alaska Route 8, this road stretches through 135 miles of undeveloped land and natural beauty. Services along the road may be scarce however and there are huge portions with gravel surfaces, but all these are made up for by the amazing view of Mount McKinley. There is a lot of unspoiled beauty along the way that should keep things interesting. Big game animals may also be sighted, though hunters have eliminated most of these. "
Denali Highway A Mile-by-Mile Guide (http://www.explorenorth.com/library/roads/denali_highway_guide.html)
2)Denali (Mt. McKinley) Views On Denali Hwy MP 124
During clear weather, there are excellent views of North America‘s highest peak on this six-mile section of the Denali Highway. Approximately 80 percent of its 20,320’ elevation rises above the surrounding landscape, making its base-to-summit rise greater than that of Mount Everest.

本http://blog.wenxuecity.com/myblog/63627/201712/11292.html?from=groupmessage&isappinstalled=0来一直犹豫是否要进MacCarthy。因为有很多警告,说路不好走。后来看到这篇游记。
在Chitina一定要加满油,备好吃的。进去就没有地方加油了。Chitina到McCarthy 的路,需要开得非常慢,经常会有小坑。
"The Edgerton Highway/McCarthy Road is among the most picturesque drives in North America. "
"The McCarthy Road is a narrow, gravel road that is 59 miles long. The town of McCarthy is located at the end of the McCarthy Road.
All visitors must park their vehicles at the Kennicott River footbridge. There is no vehicle access to Kennecott Mill town, which is located 5 miles away from McCarthy. During the summer, there is a private shuttle that transports visitors between McCarthy and Kennecott for a fee of $5 one way."
