Lonely National Parks By Rich Beattie, GORP Editor

Famous Denali has held onto its top ten spot despite becoming one of Alaska's most accessible parks. The cruise-ship crowds come by the busload, and you can get here by car, train, or shuttle, from Anchorage or Fairbanks. But its six million acres have helped absorb the ever-growing human population, and the infrastructure has grown to support everyone, too, with many campgrounds and several luxury resorts. Just about every sport is popular here: hiking, biking, bird-watching, fishing, skiing, and (with America's higest peak inside its boundaries) mountaineering.
