Welcome Spring 2013

A park visit in spring can be rewarding, though services and activities are limited. This two-page flier (2.0 MB PDF) can help you make the most of your time here between March 30 and May 15, 2013.
 

A visit in winter can be an exciting and challenging adventure. The winter edition of "The Alpenglow" will help with planning your trip, as will other online winter information.

 


Use this guide to hike, snowshoe and cross-country ski an extensive network of winter trails within the first three miles of the entrance to the Park Road. Information is provided about winter camping, backcountry permits, water sources, emergency shelters from the cold, and outdoor electrical sources to plug-in private vehicles.

 

Download a free site bulletin that outlines important Snowmobile Regulations and safety information for park and preserve areas that surround the boundaries of the former Mount McKinley National Park. A map that lists eight GPS boundary coordinates and five GPS reference points will help snowmobile operators steer clear of designated wilderness areas.

 

In 2008, fabric artist Ree Nancarrow created "Seasons of Denali," a remarkable panoramic quilt depicting the landscape surrounding the new Eielson Visitor Center, 66 miles from the park entrance. This key carefully identifies all of the plants, flowers, birds and animal species she included in the piece.
