More square miles than New Hampshire, almost no roads. The trails reward the people willing to go slow and start early.

Denali National Park, Alaska 63.7333, -148.9119

  • Robel on a thin ridge trail with a backpack, looking out over a wide green river valley and snow-streaked mountains under a cloudy sky.
  • Hiker in a green rain shell walking a rocky tundra trail toward a craggy outcrop under flat overcast light.
  • Mountains glowing orange in alpenglow, mirrored almost perfectly in the still surface of a small reflection pond.
