About Denali National Park

Denali National Park is six million acres of tundra, spruce forest and glaciers in interior Alaska, centred on the highest mountain in North America.

Denali National Park and Preserve covers about six million acres of interior Alaska, a landscape of braided rivers, tundra, spruce forest and glaciers spread across the Alaska Range. The mountain itself, 6,190 metres high, is the highest in North America. It often hides in cloud, so a clear view of the summit is a matter of luck.
