Denali National Park Information
 

Wildlife Viewing
The bountiful and majestic collection of wildlife that inhabits Denali National Park is as diverse as the spectacular wilderness they reside in. Though visitors and residents alike generally travel great distances to witness the most powerful and elusive wildlife, such as grizzlies and tundra caribou, Denali National Park and Preserve is home to 37 mammal and over 150 bird species.

Flight Seeing
Multiple departures are available each day for your convenience. Courtesy transportation is available from local hotels, with pick up times approx 1 hour before flight time. Your 5 or 6 passenger plane departs from a private airstrip located eight miles south of the park entrance and flies along the Alaska Range into the heart of Denali National  Park. All seats are window seats, and tours are fully narrated. Weather permitting, you'll fly all the way around Mt. McKinley itself. Bring plenty of film as photo opportunities abound and a photo missed is a memory only!
