Only one road leads into the heart of the park's six million acres. This ninety-mile gravel road is narrow, primitive, and winds through an untouched wilderness that has remained virtually the same for hundreds of years. Whether you travel by park bus or in your own vehicle during shoulder seasons, make sure you bring your lunch, your binoculars and camera, and your copy of the Denali Road Guide.

Find out where to look for caribou, moose, and bears with cubs; discover the diverse habitats that support Denali's incredible wildlife; witness firsthand the geology that shaped the landscape here; and read about the fascinating human history that has long been a part of Denali.
