Starkly Beautiful Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska

Winters can be harsh, though starkly beautiful at Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska. Temperatures can be well below 0 degrees F by November, and on the winter solstice, Denali receives less than 5 hours of true daylight. Those who venture to the park in winter will find plenty to do -- from skiing and winter biking to mushing and snowmobiling.
