Sterling! It's perfect! Or Moose Pass or Cooper Landing or Anchor Point or Ninilchik or Homer or Seward or Hope or Nikiski or Kasilof. You decide!

Well there is this strech of highway between Anchorage and Fairbanks where there is nothing in either direction for 150 miles. Remote, but not desolate.

Not a lot of trees in Wiseman. Most of them are shorter than 25 feet at best.

By "desolate" I'm going to assume you mean "deprived or destitute of inhabitants; deserted; uninhabited" as opposed to "barren or laid waste; devastated". Any place west of the Sustina River and south and east of the Alaska Mountain Range is "uninhabited", there are no roads, no towns, no native villages.
The forests in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley are approximately four times less dense than the forest you will find in Washington or Oregon. If you want a denser, old growth forest, look at Alaska's panhandle. The towns are only accessible by either boat or plane. The stretch of the coastline along the mainland in the Tongass National Forest between Wrangell and Juneau also fits the description of uninhabited.
