Sled Dog Puppies

Managers at the park kennels breed for one litter of puppies each year. This temporary camera will operate each year, starting when the pups are about three weeks old, after their eyes and ears have opened. In 2012, the camera went live on May 29, 2012 and was turned off on September 30, 2012. The camera will go live again in 2013, once the next litter of pups are born and are moving about.

You can also follow the happenings of the park sled dog kennels via their blog and by watching for periodic updates on our Facebook, YouTube and Twitter accounts. Thanks for watching.
 

"You Are Here"

Use this view of the visitor center campus to share your visit with family and friends back home. Stand by the info kiosk, call someone by cellphone, and wave to the white camera enclosure on the visitor center roof as they watch for you (go.nps.gov/youarehere).

In winter, you can also watch for signs of wildlife, snowshoe and ski trails, maybe even a few snow angels, sculptures and other creations.

 

Alaska Railroad Depot

This view from high above the Denali Visitor Center is oriented to the southeast, across the park boundary in the middle distance to the Yanert River Valley beyond. In winter, this expanse is where the sun first emerges and lingers low over the horizon. (Image refreshes about once each minute.)
 

Mount McKinley

Park researchers studying air quality host a visibility webcam of Mount McKinley from Wonder Lake, about 85 miles from the park entrance. The camera system currently operates only in summer due to inaccessibility and lack of power during winter months.
 

Park Airstrip

As a year-round public service and safety measure for pilots, the Federal Aviation Administration hosts a webcam at the McKinley Park Airstrip adjacent to the Alaska Railroad depot, about a mile inside the park entrance. Images are generally updated every 10 minutes.

Did You Know?

Did you know that in 1908, Charles Sheldon – a hunter and naturalist – described in his journal the idea of a park that would allow visitors to enjoy the beauty he saw while visiting Alaska. In 1917 his vision became reality, with the creation of Mount McKinley National Park.
