Alaska

Bring your gravel tires when you go cycling in the largest state in the US!  While there are great road climbs around Juneau, Fairbanks, and Anchorage, the real adventure is on the dirt roads of Denali National Park, home to Denali, the biggest mountain in North America and the most prominent peak in the world - even more prominent than Everest!
