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.
