Mail from the U.S. Department of the Interior


Sitting at the foothills of the Alaska Range, Denali National Park is as wild and wonderful as it was when hunter and naturalist Charles Sheldon first visited the area more than a century ago. It was Sheldon's drive and determination to protect this American treasure that led to the creation of Denali National Park and Preserve on February 26, 1917. 

 

Today, visitors from all over come to experience the beauty and splendor of one of the nation's most spectacular national parks. Whether it's a bus tour along Denali Park Road, spotting charismatic wildlife or meeting the park's sled dog rangers, there is so much to explore at Denali.
