Complete guide to mountain wildlife and year-round outdoor Activities
Part history, part field guide, and part recreation tool, this is an up-to-
date and comprehensive guidebook for Denali – one of the most beloved US
national parks in Alaska. Includes checklists for wildlife watching and
details on winter fun.
Denali National Park: The Complete Visitors Guide to the Mountain, Wildlife,
and Year-Round Outdoor Activities is the most comprehensive guide to one of
North America’s most wild and varied places. This authoritative reference to
Denali National Park and adjacent lands details all the information a
traveller needs for a great Alaska experience, whether by bus, car, train,
bike, boat, or foot.
With this guide in hand you can explore the park’s visitor facilities, raft
whitewater rapids, pick berries, climb the continent’s highest mountain,
backpack through forest and tundra, watch grizzlies dig for ground squirrels,
share a ridgetop with Dall sheep, attend sled-dog demonstrations, go on
ranger-guided hikes, camp in solitude within glacially carved valleys, and
much more.
From the natural history of the region to the human history of the mountain
and the park, Alaskan author Bill Sherwonit captures the mystique of this
fascinating place. Even casual travellers to Denali National Park will
appreciate his in-depth information about the park’s popular entrance area and
travelling the Park Road, and the helpful checklists for mammals, birds, and
plants.
