Happy 100th Birthday Denali!

Denali celebrates it's one hundredth birthday on February 26, 2017!



North America’s tallest mountain, formerly known as Mount McKinley, stands at an awesome 20,310-feet and looms over roughly 600,000 acres of protected park land. 

Denali, an Athabascan word meaning “Great One,” stands watch over the many wildlife species who make the park their home, including moose, grizzly bears, Dall sheep, caribou and wolves. 

Celebrate the true ideal of national parks in Denali, a place that has been set aside to connect people to America’s past, a place that protects present wildlife and amazing landscapes for your enjoyment and that of future generations, and a place that celebrates the individual’s opportunity to experience inspiration, reflection, awe, and wonder.  
A true national treasure!

You can experience Denali on an Alaska CruiseTour on several cruise lines.  May through September is the Alaska cruising season.  Add a land tour to a 7-night cruise to make a spectacular vacation experience.
