Denali National Park has 6 million acres of wilderness, and one road, which extends 92 miles from the park entrance to the former mining town of Kantishna.
Only the first fifteen miles of the road are paved, which is why the trip takes six hours. It's dirt and gravel, mostly one wide lane with occasional turnouts for passing. And no guard rails.
