Polychrome Pass 3
Most of Denali National Park is closed to cars. If you want to travel into the park, you pay to ride a park bus along the one access road ... which I far prefer to the Yellowstone option of waiting in private car traffic jam. I wish they would do this in every national park.
The bus stopped at a rest area 40 miles in at Polychrome Pass. We left the bus here and spent a few hours in the backcountry, seeing some of the most beautiful mountains I've ever seen.
We climbed this little bump first, then climbed the higher peak next to it. We eventually topped out around 4500 feet.
