Mt. McKinley range.

Our travels from Fairbanks to Anchorage took us through Denali State Park and past the spectacular Mt. McKinley Range. In this area there were numerous places where one could hike, canoe, kayak or raft in the back country.

Denali National Park is one of Alaska's major tourist destinations. We have been told that tourism is the number one industry in Alaska. Buses are ready to drive people into the back country and a wide variety of flight seeing tours are available.

Denali, "The Great One", is the name Athabascan people gave the massive peak that crowns this 600 mile long Alaska Range. This park is one of the world's last great frontiers for wilderness adventure.
