What to do and see in Denali National Park and Preserve, Denali National Park and Preserve: The Best Things to do for Honeymoon

April 16, 2022 Randal Brittian

Denali National Park and Preserve is most famous for being the home of Mount McKinley, also called Denali, meaning "The Great One." At 20,320 feet, Mount McKinley is the highest peak in North America. The park, which is larger than the state of Massachusetts, has only one road, making it the perfect backcountry adventure. Try to spot The Big Five: moose, caribou, Dall sheep, wolves and grizzly bears.

Denali

America's tallest peak, this 20,320-foot mountain is the most famous part of this national park.

Nothing I can say about Denali will be worth the experience. Alaska was a ' bucket list' experience, and Denali was the crown jewel of the experience. Neither disappointed. Alaska was fantastic, Denali was amazing and awe inspiring, and I would do it again, sooner instead of later. Go, and prepare to be wowed by your experience.

There were many favorites with this excursion! Jeff was amazing....he comes alive during his presentation of his Iditarod racing experiences! He allowed us to handle the 12 week old puppies, he gave us a personal tour of his training grounds during the summer season which included a ride (with him) on the ATV with his racing dogs leading. The dogs were mesmerizing. The whole experience was unforgettable. I highly recommend visiting Husky Homestead!!!

My husband and I did a 2 hour trail ride during our honeymoon and this was definitely a major highlight for us. The scenery was gorgeous, our guide was great with instruction, full of knowledge and my favorite part was clicking with my horse, Tuff. I would absolutely recommend a trail ride with DHT to anyone.
