text: Slide 3 of 51: Denali National Park The Land of the Midnight Sun is home to eight National Parks and a total of 17 sites run by the National Park Service. You can't go wrong with any of them, as they are all filled with some of the most pristine natural beauty anywhere in the world. But Denali is home to North America's tallest peak (the mountain previously also known as Mt. McKinley), and has six million acres of wild land to discover.
