Mount Healy Overlook Trail
The most challenging trail in the entrance area, climbing about 520 m, with a summit view over the Nenana River valley and the Alaska Range.
The Mount Healy Overlook Trail starts near the visitor center and covers about 8.8 km round trip, with roughly 520 m of elevation gain. It switchbacks upward through spruce forest and alpine tundra. The rocky viewpoint at the top overlooks the park entrance area, the Nenana River valley and the distant Alaska Range, and on clear days, Denali is visible. Marmots and Dall sheep are often seen near the summit. The round trip takes about 3–5 hours. It can be windy, so bring a windproof jacket and plenty of water.
