Morning
The sun is already up, so start the day with an early morning flightseeing trip. Take off from Merrill Field or Lake Hood Seaplane Base for the journey to the Denali National Park and Preserve. No need for in-flight entertainment on this trip; the full splendor of the Alaska Range unfurls outside the window. Explore Mount McKinley and the other peaks. You might even touch down on a remote lake for more photos of Denali.

Afternoon
The flight's finished, but McKinley looms large even in Anchorage. Walk the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail from downtown and on a clear day you'll see McKinley to the north. Or indulge your inner mountaineer with a hike at Flattop for another perspective. The peaks of the Alaska Range may be daunting, but this popular hike in the Chugach Mountains has something for all abilities.
