My Home for 4 months - Denali National Park and Preserve
My Home for 4 months


Denali is an Athabascan word that means "The High One", and here it refers to Mt. McKinley, North America's highest mountain peak at 20,320 feet (6096 m). The Mountain and its park are one of the top tourist attractions in Alaska. Denali is the nation's premier subarctic national park. At 6 million acres (2,400,000 ha), the park is larger than American state Massachusetts! Denali Park is native wildlife, active glaciers, snowcapped peaks and arctic tundra.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Many differents activities, excellent wild nature and comfortable hotels with good service
  • Cons:Very far from big cities, some activities are very expensive
  • In a nutshell:Breathe freely...

    Excellent Alaska page, It's good that you warned about bears and moose because they don't like people to pet them. Cheers

    Alaska was terrific, I agree. We enjoyed many of the same things you did. I thought the dinner show was fun, too.
