A parking space and nothing more but Magnificent views! Make the stop here and you won't be disappointed....unless it is cloudy, raining or snowing ..then maybe not a lot to see.

Just about the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Worth the drive!

The access is not plowed in winter, but still nice view of the Alaska Range from the highway.

The northern viewpoint for Denali - it has more space for parking and overnight camping but a slightly less good view of the mountain as the peak stands out less. Definitely worth stopping if you are planning to head all the way through the pass up to Fairbanks but if you’re just travelling up from Anchorage for the view then the south view point is all you need.
