Mt. McKinley
It's more than a mountain. 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 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. --
