Alaska is a huge state , so start by figuring out what kinds of things you want to do . Many travelers start in Anchorage , site of the state 's largest airport and several trails . Denali National Park is home to North America 's highest peak , Mount McKinley . The park has many hiking trails, but also some great wilderness areas where you can hike for days without seeing another human being or even finding your way back home. I recommend heading up Flattop Mountain . Share photos from your journey .
