Denali National Park and Preserve

Denali National Park is one of the most famous and popular tourist destinations in Alaska. Denali, North America's tallest peak, is located in the 6 million-acre Denali National Park and Preserve. The peak, once known as Mount McKinley, is an amazing 20,310 feet tall!

While meandering along the Savage River, savoring the peacefulness of Wonder Lake, or going through Polychrome Pass, look for bears, moose, wolves, and other wildlife. Hiking, whitewater rafting, and backcountry camping are popular ways to visit the national park, but bus excursions provide a climate-controlled and safer alternative. The Denali Visitor Center offers short, ranger-led trail hikes, as well as informational and educational exhibits.
