Denali
Denali Borough, United States
Highest mountain in North America, located in Alaska. It sits in high country, where snow can close access roads well into early summer.
Why visit: The Rockies, the Sierra Nevada and the Cascade volcanoes — glaciated peaks with roads and trails right up to them.
- ›Start at dawn — afternoon thunderstorms are a real hazard above the treeline
- ›Check the road and pass status before driving up
- ›Acclimatise before hiking high; altitude sickness starts around 2,500m
- ›Carry layers: summits run far colder than the trailhead
