Return to Alaska today, skirting the snowcapped St Elias peaks, along the Alcan Highway, en route to Tok, where we'll stay tonight. Keep an eye out for Mt. Logan, the tallest peak in the Yukon Territory, which looms over Kluane National Park.
Admire the epic mountain and glacier backdrop of one of the world's most scenic drives as you journey along the Denali Highway en route to Denali National Park. See the snow-capped Alaska Range and Mt. Denali before arriving in a true wilderness that is home to North America's tallest peak.
Tune into your unfettered surrounds - a free day to connect with Denali on your terms. Be present amidst the sounds of Bunting and Gray Jays, hike through the wilderness or consider a whitewater rafting adventure. Today is yours to indulge in the contemplative solitud...

Check out the world's largest collection of standing totem poles, intricately carved with native designs. Perhaps take an optional guided tour through town or a floatplane flightseeing trip.
Revel in the scenery as you slowly glide past a maze of bays, glacier-carved fjords and waterways protected from the open sea by rugged, isolated islands.
