Your Safety
 

Emergencies: Dial 911

Be prepared to give your location as Denali National Park. Call to report accidents, fires, or life-threatening emergencies. Since there are no phones west of Park Headquarters, emergencies in those areas should be reported to rangers on patrol, campground hosts, bus drivers, or to staff at ranger stations or Toklat Rest Stop.

Wilderness Safety

Denali is a true wilderness . Before venturing into the park, read the safety information in the Denali Alpenglow, the park newspaper. Grizzly bears and moose are dangerous. Crossing glacial rivers is treacherous and the potential for hypothermia is always a factor in the sub arctic.
