Alaska's parks

Driving to Denali
Highway is scenic and fast -- but watch for moose

Be casual, be safe
Feel the urge to sniff the flowers? It's generally safe to pull off the highway along rivers and in Broad Pass near Cantwell, where many people pick blueberries in the late summer. Bears do live and eat in the area, so make plenty of noise.
There are plenty of places -- creekside parks, rest stops, informal pullouts along the highway -- where drivers can pull over to let long lines of traffic pass. Usually there will be room soon for passing safely, but the highway has seen too many head-on collisions over the years. Please drive with your headlights on.
