Hiking
The Eielson Alpine Trail ends when you summit the Thorofare Ridge, a rocky exposed ridge high above the Denali Park Road. On a clear day from this vantage point you get phenomenal views of Denali, the highest peak in North America, as well as the surrounding peaks and valley below. This stunning spot is a great place to enjoy the views in an amazing high alpine environment after the relatively short, but steep hike from the Eielson Visitor Center.
