Roughly 400,000 intrepid travelers journey to Denali National Park and Preserve each year, primarily between late May and early September. Most come in search of wildlife or glimpses of 20,320' tall Mt. McKinley, the roof of North America. All are encouraged to take one of the many bus rides along the Park Road, the sole vehicle access into the heart of the park. Whether you seek wildlife, scenery, or solitude and communion with this wild land, these webpages and our park newspaper should be your guides to planning your trip.
In Directions, learn where Denali is in relation to major airports and cities in Alaska, and get suggestions on how to travel here once you're in Alaska. In Operating Hours & Seasons, discover what to expect if you visit in winter, summer, or Denali's very short spring and fall (described here as "shoulder seasons"). In Fees & Reservations, find out what park fees you should expect during your visit, and determine whether or not you'll need reservations for activities or accommodations. In Things To Do, explore the myriad activities that are possible in Denali. In Things To Know Before You Come, learn or be reminded of some important facts about traveling to this beautiful and special part of the world. Pilots, both commercial and non-commercial, will also find a wealth of useful aviation information here. You can also connect to the park and get help planning your visit via our social media sites including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and more. 한국어 (Korean) | 日本語 (Japanese) |中文 (简体) (Chinese, simplified) | 中文（繁体) (Chinese, traditional) | Français | Deutsch | Россию |
