Denali Highway, also known as Alaska Route 8, is a scenic and lightly traveled gravel highway in Alaska. Spanning 135 miles, it connects Paxson on the Richardson Highway to Cantwell on the Parks Highway, offering breathtaking views of the central Alaska Range, including majestic peaks and glaciers. Although the highway is poorly maintained and closed from October to mid-May, it provides access to Denali National Park and serves as a gateway to the Copper River drainage, the Tanana Yukon drainage, and the Susitna drainage.

Along the Denali Highway, travelers can find developed campgrounds at Tangle Lakes and Brushkana Creek, as well as numerous pullouts for camping on public lands. Services are limited, but there are a few lodges and cabins available for accommodations. The highway is a popular destination for birdwatching, offering opportunities to spot various alpine breeders and waterfowl. Additionally, visitors can enjoy fishing for grayling and lake trout in the clear streams along the route.
