Denali
Le Denali, anciennement mont McKinley, est la plus haute montagne d'Amérique du Nord. Situé en Alaska, aux États-Unis, il culmine à 6 190 mètres d'altitude.
Son altitude, son climat extrême et sa situation géographique arctique en font un des sommets les plus difficiles à atteindre au monde et ce n'est qu'en 1913 qu'il fut pour la première fois escaladé par un être humain. Depuis 1917, la montagne fait partie de la zone protégée du parc national de Denali.

During my 10day trip to Alaska I covered over 2000 miles of Interior Alaska, a number of villages and cities with my tour group. Some to include Anchorage, Denali, Valdez, Fairbanks, Seward, talkeetna, etc we traveled by bus, boat rides to fjords and glaciers, stoped at national parks and saw monuments and cultural recreations and museums. We ate at different restaurants, hiked the Denali mountain trails, had close encounters with the Alaskan wildlife and ended up 200 miles from the Arctic circle. We panned for gold and saw mammoth bones learned about the natives and their culture and had a blast. Please visit Alaska pictures are my own and some Courtesy of our tour driver taken during our trip.

The rangers throughout the park were knowledgable and friendly. I stayed at the Teklanika camp ground for 3 nights which was an amazing experience. The restrooms are clean and there are multiple different trails to hike with entrances from the camp site. If you prefer a nice afternoon walk, there is a gravel road you can use leading further into the park.

Absolutely incredible. My wife and I spent a few days in Denali on a trip to Alaska on our 20 year anniversary. It’s an amazing place. The views and wildlife are incredible. We saw a large herd of caribou on a bus ride through the park. We also did a plane tour on a prop plane and landed on a glacier.
