Mount Denali looms large, dominating the region known as Denali Country. The Alaska Range provides a host of recreational opportunities, from rafting to flightseeing.

Talkeetna is the largest town in Denali Country, and has great views of the famous mountain. It is a hub of activity and is the base camp for climbers starting their ascent of the mountain. Flightseeing trips are offered from the town, some allowing for glacier landings. River rafting is popular too.
