    National Park & Preserve Alaska

  • Night-time Road Closures Possible

    Occasional road closures, between 11 pm and 5 am, are possible along part of the park road (Mile 3.4 - Mile 15), from May 7 to May 18. Look for signage at Mile 3.4 if driving into the park at night.

Denali 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, 20,320' Mount McKinley. Wild animals large and small roam unfenced lands, living as they have for ages. Solitude, tranquility and wilderness await.
