DENALI NATIONAL PARK
Read more: HomeDenali is six million acres of wild land, bisected by one ribbon of road.
Travelers along it see the relatively low-elevation taiga forest give way to high alpine tundra
and snowy mountains, culminating in North America’s tallest peak, 20,310′ Mount McKinley.
Wild animals large and small roam unfenced lands, living as they have for ages.
Park History
Human habitation in the Denali Region extends to more than 11,000 years before the present, with documented sites just outside park boundaries dated to more than 8,000 years before present. However, relatively few archaeological sites have been documented within the parrk boundaries, owing to the region’s high elevation, with harsh winter conditions and scarce resources compared to lower elevations in the area. The oldest site within park boundaries in the Teklanika River site, dated about 7130 BC. More than 84 archaeological sites have been documented within the park.
