for Denali one of the most beloved US national parks in
Alaska. Includes checklists for wildlife watching and

demonstrations, go on ranger-guided hikes, camp in
solitude within glacially carved valleys, and much more.

place. Even casual travellers to Denali National Park
will appreciate his in-depth information about the
park's popular entrance area and travelling the Park
Road, and the helpful checklists for mammals, birds, and
