Description
Denali National Park & Preserve in Alaska is one of North America’s largest and most spectacular wilderness landscapes. Dominated by the 6,190-meter-high Denali, the continent’s highest mountain, the vast protected area is known for its alpine tundra, dense taiga forests, immense glaciers, and wild river landscapes. Grizzly bears, wolves, moose, caribou, and Dall sheep roam the largely untouched wilderness of the Alaska Range. A single road leads deep into the park, offering sweeping views across a landscape of extraordinary scale and pristine beauty. Denali National Park is considered the epitome of Alaska’s wilderness and one of North America’s most impressive natural destinations.
