Tourist guide to popular scenic spots in Alaska

I know this! Last year, when I planned to travel to Alaska with my friends, I collected some information about the must-see spots in Alaska. Now I will share the information of the top ten scenic spots in Alaska with friends in need ~

1, Dinali National Park

brief introduction

Dinali National Park is located in the northernmost part of south-central Alaska, bordering the inland areas. Dinali National Park not only has the highest mountain in North America (McKinley), but also has endless scenery close to Tianshui. Every summer, Dinali National Park welcomes countless tourists. You can take a bird's-eye view of Mount McKinley, the highest peak in North America, or you can choose to land on Mount McKinley and get in close contact with this snowfield above 1000 meters. There are also many wild animals in Dinali National Park. Visitors can take the shuttle bus provided by the park and go deep into Wande Lake within 0/00km of the park/kloc-to explore the traces of wild animals. Along the way, reindeer and brown bears accompany you, and Mount McKinley is close at hand. Perhaps only Dinali National Park can satisfy your unforgettable and wonderful trip.
