Jun 1st, 2012 at 8:00AM: One of the great annual traditions at Denali National Park is the arrival of a new litter of sled dog pups. The park, which is located in Alaska's spectacular and remote wilderness, maintains its own sled dog team for use in patrolling the region throughout the long winter months. Without these teams much of Denali would not be accessible for portions of the year, which makes these trusty canines ...Denali sled dog pups on national park's webcam
Sep 24th, 2011 at 9:00AM: Denali National Park, located in the stunning wilds of Alaska, is amongst the more remote and beautiful destinations in the entire U.S. park system. It is well known for its array of wildlife, a single 91-mile scenic road, and as the location of Mt. McKinley, the tallest mountain in North America. What many visitors don't know however, is that the park has its own dog kennel, which is home to a ...National parks announce fee free days for 2011
Jan 27th, 2011 at 8:00AM: Over the past few years, it has become a tradition for the National Park Service to waive entry fees into the national parks several times a year. Those fee free days have become extremely popular with frugal travelers, who take advantage of the lack of an entry fee to enjoy some of the best natural wonders that America has to offer.
Earlier this month the Park Service announced their fee free ...Photo of the Day (12.20.10)

There's nothing more frustrating on a road trip then getting stuck behind a slow-moving bus or truck that you are unable to pass. Not only are they holding you up, but after a few miles (or worse, a few hours), you simply just get sick of seeing the exact same vehicle in front of you. The only saving grace is if, when you finally do get to pass, the driver of that massive vehicle honks the ...Denali National Park seeks artist in residence
Oct 24th, 2010 at 8:00AM: Are you an aspiring artist looking for some inspiration? Do you enjoy the great outdoors and have a desire to paint spectacular landscapes? Then Denali National Park has an opportunity for you. The park is now taking applications for its artist in residence program, seeking qualified artists to visit during the summer of 2011.
Each of the residency programs is ten days in length and comes with ...Chicago backpacker gets lost (again) in Alaska
Aug 28th, 2009 at 12:00PM: When Into the Wild, the story of Christopher McCandless' epic adventure in the Alaskan wilderness, was published, the idea of setting off into the wild with nothing but a few pounds of rice and your wits to survive seemed terribly romantic....well, except that McCandless died because he was unprepared for the harsh conditions. Despite (or I guess, because of) that minor point, hundreds of people ...New hybrid buses being tested for Denali National Park tours in Alaska
Jul 23rd, 2008 at 8:00AM: Tourism in Denali National Park, home to 20,320-foot Mount McKinley, could get a lot greener before we know it. If you've been to Denali you know that the park forbids personal cars for the 92-mile length of the park road. Instead, visitors catch a diesel bus near the park entrance. The road is the only way to get into and out of the park. Park officials are now testing out a hybrid tour bus to ...Denali Road Lottery: An Autumn Experience for a Lucky Few
Sep 12th, 2007 at 4:00PM: Autumn in Alaska is less a season and more a quick transition from summer to winter. There's no slow, sexy undressing of trees; instead we get the climax for three weeks as anything with leaves scrambles to dump them. Denali National Park is ablaze daily for three weeks in late August and September, and one of the coolest ways to enjoy this intense "season" is by driving the Denali Park Road. The ...A Long Weekend in Denali National Park
Aug 14th, 2007 at 1:45PM:
There are a few ways to experience Denali National Park and Preserve. One is to arrive like a rajah on the second floor of a domed rail car or lofty motor coach, and stay at one of the plush corporate lodges. From there you can book a number of excursions that include flight seeing, river rafting, and guided hikes and tours. Or you can arrive independent of commercial companies, bus into the ...
