USA Denali Highway, eastern end

Before the completion of the George Parks Highway between Fairbanks and the Glenn Highway (and thus Anchorage) in 1971, the Denali Highway was the only access road to Denali National Park from the Richardson Highway. Even today, it is only partly tarmac and mostly gravel.
The landscape along this road can be considerd one of the most beautiful in Alaska.
The further east, the closer the road gets to the snow-capped mountains of the Alaska Range.
