The best view of Denali (Mt. McKinley) is from the this side of the Alaska Range. My favorite place to view the mountain is from their deck. I enjoy tea or a meal there and wait until the cloud cover clears. As a bonus this is a hundred miles closer than the entrance to Denali National Park and you are more likely to see the mountain from here.
