Denali National Park The Heart of Alaska |
 |
There's no place more wild, rugged, and breathtakingly beautiful than Alaska's Denali National Park & Preserve - and no place more ideal to experience it from than Denali Park Resorts. McKinley Chalet Resort and McKinley Village Lodge are located in the heart of Alaska's magnificent interior, with awe-inspiring views of some of the most pristine geography on earth. Fine dining complements the untamed landscape and provides a relaxing place to return to after a day of guided hikes, whitewater rafting, or a tour into the heart of Denali National Park. |

One of the more dramatic ways to tour Denali National Park and Preserve is from the window of a small aircraft. From the air, park visitors can take in the enormity and diversity of the park landscape - soaring over gentle foothills, along meandering glaciers, up to the rugged peaks of the Alaska Range. In addition to the stunning scenery, flightseers can often catch glimpses of mountaineers en route to the high summits.

The Park Road
Denali National Park and Preserve has one road, simply called the Denali Park Road, and it is the main avenue for visitors to see and experience Denali. The road is 92 miles long, and only the first 15 miles of it are paved. That paved portion, leading from the park entrance to Savage River, is open during the summer for public (non-commercial) vehicles to drive. Summer travel beyond mile 15, which is hugely recommended, is by shuttle or tour bus, or under human power. The summer season in Denali runs from late May through early September. |
