ABOUT DENALI NATIONAL
PARK |
| It's
more than a mountain!
Denali’s dynamic glaciated
landscape supports a diversity of wildlife with grizzly
bears, caribou, wolves, Dall sheep and moose. Summer slopes
are graced with birds and wildflowers. Visitors enjoy sightseeing,
backpacking, mountaineering, and research opportunities.
Whether climbing or admiring, the crowning jewel of North
America’s highest peak is the awe inspiring 20,320
foot Mount McKinley.
Denali National
Park & Preserve 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.
The park was established as Mount 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.
