Stony Overlook is located at mile marker 62 on Denali Park Road. It is pointed directly at both peaks of Denali and is a popular stop for most buses passing through the area. You can see from the base of the mountain to the summit from this overlook, really showing off just how massive this peak is.

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.

Blueberry Hill Trail is a short ~mile long trail that offers a cool view of Wonder Lake. Mount Denali towers in the background on a clear day, too.

The views from the remote Wonder Lake are an iconic part of Denali National Park. From Wonder Lake you can see the expanse of the of the Alaska Range with exceptionally great views of Denali. On clear, calm days, the mountains are reflected on the large lake; this vista is the photographers dream! Although this area is much wetter than other parts of the park and can be buggy, it is still well worth the long bus ride there. You also have opportunities to see many animals including waterfowl at the lake. The Wonder Lake Campground is a popular and equally scenic place to stay not far from this overlook.

The Eielson Alpine Trail ends when you summit the Thorofare Ridge, a rocky exposed ridge high above the Denali Park Road. On a clear day from this vantage point you get phenomenal views of Denali, the highest peak in North America, as well as the surrounding peaks and valley below. This stunning spot is a great place to enjoy the views in an amazing high alpine environment after the relatively short, but steep hike from the Eielson Visitor Center.

Yeah, focusing on survival while climbing the fixed ropes on the Denali Headwall at 4,500m is a good idea, but do turn around to enjoy the spectacular 200 degree panorama to the south :-) On the West Buttress ridge approach to Denali summit, most climbers camping at the Advance Base camp take an acclimation day to climb up the head wall on fixed lines, bringing supplies up to the top of the headwall and leaving a cache on the ridge at about 16,400 ft elevation before returning to sleep at 14,300 feet. The headwall is the steepest section of the whole climb to the summit. Bringing food up to a cache is good training to get used to the higher altitude (spending the day higher but sleep lower to avoid altitude sickness), and reduce the load to carry when moving to High Camp a couple of days later for the Summit push.

The top of the ridge has dramatic 300 degree views, south down the headwall fixed ropes to the 14,300 Advance base camp, west along the ridge towards Mt Foraker, and North into the Denali National Park valley. To the North-East the side of the Denali summit base near the High Camp comes into view.
