Denali National Park Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

North America's highest peak, 20,230-foot Mount McKinley, seems to split the sky of the vast Alaska interior. Known as "Denali"—the Great One—to early Athabascans, the mountain dominates the Alaskan Range and is the stunning focal point of six-million-acre Denali National Park and Preserve. This dramatic landscape contains snowcapped mountains, glaciers, frozen tundra, spruce forests, and lakes where grizzly bears, moose, wolves, and Dall sheep roam. It's a place where families could spend a week and harvest a lifetime of experiences.
