Government Hill Details
Located at mile 2.5 on Denali Park Road, Government Hill has a small pullout for a scenic overlook that offers views of the Alaska Railroad train trestle over Riley Creek. It's a nice stop for viewing fall foliage -- if you are lucky enough to grab one of the two parking spots. You also may see bears here. Park rangers frown on parking along the roadside, although many visitors do just that -- part of the reason why officials are considering an expansion of the Government Hill pullout.
