Best Denali National Park Preserve Day Trips & Things to Do

The 20,237-foot tall Mount McKinley - North America's highest mountain - is this Alaska national park's main feature. Denali National Park & Preserve was established in 1917 as Mount McKinley National Park and its name was changed in 1980. At more than six million acres in the Alaska Range, the park is largest than the state of Massachusetts and is visited by approximately 400,000 people every year. A 92-mile long road runs through Denali National Park, which is home to many black and grizzly bears. Denali means "The High One" in the Koyukon Athabaskan language of native Alaskans.
