In September 2016, my father and I met in Anchorage and took a road trip to three national parks. The first was Denali, with the highest peak in North America. The second was Wrangell-St. Elias, the nation's largest which, despite its size, has only two dirt roads. The third was Kenai Fjords, full of glaciers tumbling to the sea. Alaska exceeded my high expectations and I can't wait to go back to see the other five national parks there.
