About this city
Denali National Park and Preserve encompasses six million acres of Alaska's interior wilderness, centered around North America's highest peak, the majestic 20,310-foot Denali. Characterized by a sprawling landscape of low-elevation taiga forest, high alpine tundra, and massive moving glaciers, this protected sanctuary is a testament to subarctic preservation. It remains largely untamed, with only a single 92-mile ribbon of road cutting through the landscape, designed to protect the natural habitats of the region's legendary wildlife.
