Denali National Park is the premier destination of vacationing people from around the world. It features North America's highest mountain, 20,320-foot tall Mount McKinley. The Alaska Range also includes countless other spectacular mountains and many large glaciers. Denali's more than 6 million acres also encompass a complete sub-arctic eco-system with large mammals such as grizzly bears, wolves, Dall sheep, and moose.
Today, the park accommodates a wide variety of visitor use including wildlife viewing, mountaineering, and backpacking, and it continues to provide a laboratory for research in the natural sciences. Denali National Park and Preserve is full of activities and events that can keep you busy for hours or weeks. While summer is the most popular time to visit Denali, winter offers many recreation and sightseeing opportunities. Here at Denali, we encourage you to take a moment to learn more about this area — then start exploring.
Larger than the state of Massachusetts, Denali National Park and Preserve is six million acres of pristine wilderness. The varied terrain includes crystal clear rivers, mountain lakes, expansive tundra, alpine meadows, sweeping vistas and abundant wildlife. Visitor services are available along the Parks Highway, near the park entrance, at campgrounds and visitor centers, in Kantishna and in remote lodges. Activities, dining, shopping, lodging, services and means of transportation are as varied as our travelers.
