Denali Walking Tour
Denali, United States
Why Walk Denali
Denali National Park protects six million acres of subarctic wilderness in interior Alaska, centered on Denali (formerly Mount McKinley) — the tallest mountain in North America at 20,310 feet. The mountain rises 18,000 feet from its base, making it the tallest base-to-peak mountain on any continent. Only one road penetrates 92 miles into the park, and private vehicles are restricted beyond mile 15.
