Alaska is arguably the best place in the U.S. to visit if you’re looking for sweeping mountain views, epic scenery, and an abundance of wildlife at every turn.

If you have the chance to visit this iconic park, you’ll want to make an effort to get to the Stony Hill Scenic Overlook. Though it’s well into the park, this beloved viewpoint offers an overlook that will let you see for miles. Plus, on a clear day, you can look forward to staggering views of Denali.

It's no secret that Denali National Park is a treasure trove of scenery. And among all the places to roam, there's one scenic overlook that stands out from the rest.
Plus, there's nothing quite as magnificent as spotting Denali in full on a clear day. This 20,320-foot peak is often hidden by clouds and can only be seen partially. Yet Stony Hill Scenic Overlook provides one of the best full views of the mountain on a clear afternoon.
The viewpoint is right off the road, although you'll need to hop on one of the park's shuttles to get there. In this sense, it's a bit off-the-beaten-path but by no means impossible to reach.
So the next time you're looking for magnificent views for as far as the eye can see, you'll know exactly where to find them.
