Denali
National Park is world renowned for it's premier wildlife, sightseeing
and scenic qualities in Alaska. Denali National Park is a six million
acre preserve encompassing Mt. McKinley (Denali) at 20, 320 feet. Vast
wilderness areas, with lush glacial valleys surrounded by numerous glaciated
peaks of the Alaska Range, create an awe-inspiring environment. Grizzly
bears, moose, caribou, wolves, lynx, fox and a host of other mammal
and bird species exist in a virtually untouched and harmonious ecosystem.
The Nenana River is the eastern boundary of
Denali National Park for nearly 40 miles. The glacial whitewater gradually
increases from mild class I moving current in the upper reaches to exciting
class III/IV rapids in the lower canyon. This allows for a variety of
options for river adventures to enhance your vacation to Denali National
Park, Alaska.
If Alaska's rivers are not your style, explore Denali National
Park by mountain bike and experience Alaska on a more intimate level.
We suggest a bus ride into the park and a bike ride out. You will need
to make reservations on a "Camper
Bus" available through the Wilderness
Access Center. Each bus has space for 2 bikes.
