Denali Viewpoint South

In my opinion, this viewpoint offers one of the best and dramatic views of Denali. On a clear day the view is absolutely amazing and worth a stop every time. The short paved path to the viewpoint is impressive, but the short hike to the upper viewpoint offers a slightly better view of the landscape. Note: The viewpoint is closed in the winter months. Seeing all 20,310 feet of Denali is a special experience. This viewpoint is part of the Alaska State Parks system and has camping/RV sites, restrooms and picnic tables. The walk from the parking lot to the lower viewpoint is less than a hundred feet and is all on concrete. From the viewpoint you can see the Chulitna River, Mt. Foraker, Mt. Hunter, Mt. Denali, Moose's Tooth and more! If you want to get an even better view of the Chulitna River and Denali, hike the short trail to your right. Not many people hike up to the upper viewpoint so you may have it all to yourself. Make a stop and visit this viewpoint! On a clear day, you would be crazy to skip over this stop.
