- Created by retreating glaciers, Wonder Lake offers visitors stunning views of Mount McKinley and the Alaska Range as weather permits. Along the road, alder and willow carpeted hills are dotted with kettle ponds often frequented by waterfowl and other wildlife. Please note that to access Reflection Pond, an amazing photo stop in a clear day, you will need to utilize the Kantishna Shuttle Bus or hike 2.5 miles from the Wonder Lake turnaround stop.
- Most park visitors stay somewhere outside of the park. The nearest communities are Healy, located about 11 miles north of the park entrance, and Cantwell, located about 30 miles south of the park entrance. Many hotels, motels, B&Bs, etc., exist in those communities and along the highway between them.
- Many businesses list their address as a specific "mile post" along the highway. To help make sense of that, the park entrance is milepost 237. Mileposts higher in number are north (i.e., towards Healy), and mileposts lower in number are south (i.e., towards Cantwell). So, if a hotel lists their address as milepost 239, they are two miles north of the park entrance.
- A valuable resource for finding a place to stay is the Greater Healy/Denali Chamber of Commerce.
