A quick detour off the highway just before entering Denali National Park when northbound.

a whole lotta denali...

Talk a short walk through a black spruce forest and watch for moose.

Box of Goodies Cache

Nice wide and long pullout for large motor homes and vehicles pulling trailers where one can stretch his/her legs and enjoy the view of the mountains on all sides.

Broad Pass Panorama

Hidden by Pedal Pushin at a good viewpoint north of Cantwell.  Cantwell offers a couple of full service filling stations, a truck stop style restaurant, convenience store, and other traveler-friendly features.

Caribou Point

Chatter of the Chulitna

Short little jaunt on a trail along the scenic Chulitna River.  In the summertime, this stop offers parking, picnicking, and restrooms.  Full disclosure...the mosquitoes can be rough.

Chillin' Along the Chulitna

Chulitna Overlook Cache

This cache is located about 700 feet above the Parks Highway and offers a great view of the Denali National Park entrance, Mt. Healy, and Jonesville (aka Glitter Gulch).

Denali Bluff Bonanza

The cache is about as close to Denali National Park as you can get without actually being in the Park, which of couse would be against the rules.  Very convenient to the Denali Princess, Denali Bluffs Hotel, McKinley Chalet Resort, and all the other Glitter Gulch accommodations.

Denali Bruin Breath

Ramble along the east bank of the Nenana River and explore an interesting ecosystem and wave at the rafter as they go by.

Denali Nenana Nexus

Nice little detour to a lakeside park with picnic area just outside of Healy on the north side of Denali National Park.  Guard your food...a grey jay snatched half a bagel from one of the junior Ladybugs here!!!

Denali Otto Lake

One of THE places to view Denali when she's out.

Denali Panorama

Perfect for dropping off and picking up travel bugs since it's an easy walk from the Princess, McKinley, Denali Bluffs, and other lodges in the area.

Denali Travel Bug Lodge

Short bushwhack from a very scenic picnic, camping, viewpoint location.

Eagles' Panoramic Viewpoint

Fifth of Conspiracy of Ravens caches on the Ermine Hill Trail.  Don't forget to get ALL the necessary information from the "Valley of the Giants" cache, or you'll be quite a ways up the hill with nowhere else to go.  Once you reach the saddle at the base of Ermine Hill, you can peek over into the Susitna River Valley.

Ermine Hill

Third of Conspiracy of Ravens caches on the Ermine Hill Trail. Longer hike from trailhead that takes you to a wonderful stream cascading down the hillside.

Giardia Spring

Take a short (~1 mile) detour off the Parks Highway and visit the historic gold mining town of Ester.

Gold Camp Cache

The only cache in Cantwell!  Conveniently located just down the road and around the corner from the full service Chevron station.

Hawks Tail

Hidden near Hurricane Gulch.  Take a walk across the bridge if you don't have vertigo!!!

Huricane Mark

Hurricane Mark

Leopard on the Lake

There aren't yet many caches hidden along the Parks Highway between the Talkeetna Spur (MP 98) and Fairbanks, but they are all quality hides and many offer great views of Denali on a clear day.
