Snowshoeing is gaining in popularity as a great way to get outside and exercise in the winter.

Different lengths of snowshoes serve different purposes. Here in the park you may encounter very deep snow, where longer, traditional snowshoes are quite effective. Or, you may find yourself traveling along an existing trail, across rougher terrain, or through brushy areas. In these cases, a shorter shoe with an up-turned toe is better for quick traveling.

At Denali, we have a limited number of snowshoes for folks to borrow. There is no charge to use the shoes, although we'll record your driver's license number and name when you check out a pair from the Winter Visitor Center.

Please be prepared for all conditions and contact us with any questions you may have about trail conditions and winter recreation in Denali.
