Tour the Beautiful Wilderness of Denali (Mount McKinley) in Alaska

Over 9,000 square miles of pristine wilderness in the middle of Alaska have been left relatively untouched and free to explore in Denali National Park. The remoteness of the region, along with the challenging terrain, make it virtually free of any interference by man. The main attraction of Denali National Park is Denali itself, or Mount McKinley, the largest mountain in North America, and the tallest rise in the world.

Is it REALLY the Biggest Mountain?

Denali is the biggest mountain in the world if you only count the rise of the mountain. This means Denali sits on a lower elevation, while Mount Everest sits on a higher plateau, making the total elevation higher than Denali. Denali has about a 6,000 foot lead if you on Everest for base rise.

    I've been to Denali and it is wonderful. It is also amazing how it can hide in the clouds and one minute you see it and the next you don't. Beautiful scenery!! It's been several years since I was there, thanks for bringing back good memories!

    Oh, I wish I could go there, but your lens helped me to enjoy the beauty that I'll probably never see in person. Welcome to the Naturally Native Squids group. Don't forget to add your lens link to the appropriate plexo and vote for it.
