Beautiful valley, even in bad weather. You can see some animals, such as ground-nesting gulls, arctic ground squirrels and caribou.

Large beaver dam, with a bit of luck you can also see the beaver.

Wonderful viewpoint. In good, clear weather you can see Mt. Denali from there. Sturdy shoes are recommended, a good level of fitness is required

The Reflection Pond is a famously photographed lake within Denali National Park. You can bike to it on the park roads, and it is especially beautiful at sunrise and sunset. It's close to the western terminus of the road and Wonder Lake.

The northeast summit of Mount Healy is far less traveled than the southeast summit located on the Mount Healy Overlook Trail in the park. This side of the mountain is steep, rocky, and usually super windy. Only mountain runners with route finding and steep mountain running experience should seek to tackle this trail. That being said, this trail offers a real Alaskan mountain-running experience with the promise of solitude the further up the mountain you climb.

Once you pass the main overlook on the Mount Healy Trail, the trail immediately becomes more narrow and less defined. It climbs steeply and features way fewer switchbacks than the maintained section of trail. This can be more of a power-hike on the way up than an actual run, but the views and solitude you get up here are hard to find in this part of the park. You'll likely face some stronger winds and colder temperatures up here, so plan accordingly.

This is the site of the main overlook for the Mount Healy Trail. The trail stays maintained up to this point and features a lot of switchbacks to keep the trail from getting too steep. There are great views basically the whole way up the trail once you break out of the trees, and this rocky outcrop is pointed right towards Denali Canyon. If you decide to go past this point, the crowds dwindle immediately.

The Rock Creek Trail is a popular, smooth trail that connects the park's visitor center to the dog sled demonstration center. This trail has a few hills in it and can be combined with the Roadside Trail to make a loop. Of all the trails immediately next to the visitor center, this is one of the lesser populated trails (though it still sees some traffic).
