Apparently, the first trick of seeing Denali is - seeing Denali. Only 30% of those who visit the park actually see the mountain. But we saw it - not the whole thing at once, but the bottom, and then the peaks - and it was impressive. Our luck with wildlife wasn't so good - we did see Dall Sheep and Caribou and Arctic Ground Squirrels. But - the most notable part of the park for me was the extent to which it _is_ preserved. There is a road in - only NPS buses use it, and only during the summer - but things have been disturbed as little as possible, which makes for a unique experience. Very pretty - though busy to an extent we haven't seen in Alaska. Not Yellowstone busy or anything - just not so sparse.
