Places To View Denali You can see Denali from Anchorage at Earthquake Park but, in truth, Denali looks very small from the city of Anchorage. As you go up the Parks Highway , however, Denali suddenly emerges right in the road ahead of you - and you'll be impressed. This is, after all, at 20,310 feet, the tallest peak in North America.
