Denali Highway (SR 8)—mostly gravel and closed seasonally—offers a rugged Alaskan journey. The lowlands on the western two-thirds of the route, between the Alaska Range and the Talkeetna Mountains, are watered by broad, glacial rivers and lakes formed by sinkholes in the tundra. On the eastern end, MacLaren Glacier and the snow-capped peaks that formed it dominate.
