Denali National Park, Alaska
Denali National Park and Preserve encompasses 6 million acres of Alaska’s interior wilderness. Its centerpiece is 20,310-ft.-high Denali (Mount McKinley), North America’s tallest peak. With terrain of tundra, spruce forest and glaciers, the park is home to wildlife including grizzly bears, wolves, moose, caribou and Dall sheep. Popular activities in summer include biking, backpacking, hiking and mountaineering.
We chose to spend more money to visit Denali National park in the hope of seeing more bears, but we were told that there are only around 350 grizzly bears in the park. Not that many when you consider that the park is 6 million acres.
