DENALI NATIONAL PARK
It's
more than a mountain. Denali National Park & Preserve features
North America's highest mountain, 20,320-foot tall Mount
McKinley, named after President McKinley. The Alaska R ange 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.
The park was established as Mt. McKinley National Park on Feb.
26, 1917. The original park was designated a wilderness area and
incorporated into Denali National Park and Preserve in 1980. The
Park was designated an international biosphere reserve in 1976.
Today the park accommodates a wide variety of visitor use
including wildlife viewing, mountaineering, and backpacking. It
continues to provide a laboratory for research in the natural
sciences.
We offer a
flight-seeing
trip over Denali and its surrounding areas.
