What a Park, it is absolutely beautiful, if you ever come to Alaska you must go to Denali National Park. It is a natural habitat preserve for Grizzly Bear, Caribou, Wolf, Moose, Elk, Red Fox and scores of smaller animals. It also supports more than 650 species of trees, shrubs, herbs and flowering plants. It also is home of Mt McKinley (Denali), the highest mountain in North America. It was named, in 1896, by a prospector, William Dickey for presidential nominee William McKinley.Early Russian explorers and traders called the peak "Bolshaia Gora" or "Big Mountain". The Athabascan Indians of the region called it Denali, "the High One".
I will not try and say everything we saw in the Park, but we were one of the few that got to se
e "Denali" at its best. The mountain only show its full self only twenty percent of the time. It requires a clear day, good winds and the right moment. We were there, the right day and the right time. What a picture. Words can not explain it all. We also got to see plenty of the animals in the park. This "Park" is defiantly in the top 10. What a wonderful day.
