Denali (berg) (Denali)

De Denali is gelegen in Alaska en is met zijn 6194 m de hoogste berg in Noord-Amerika. De berg is gelegen in het midden van het Denali National Park. De naam betekent "de Hoge" in het Koyukon, een Athabaskische taal uit Alaska. Van 1917 tot 2015 werd deze berg Mount McKinley genoemd, naar de vroegere Amerikaanse president William McKinley. Op 31 augustus 2015 werd bekendgemaakt dat president Obama heeft besloten dat de berg officieel de oorspronkelijke naam Denali terugkrijgt.De ontdekkingsreiziger en arts Frederick Cook claimde in 1903 dat hij als eerste erin was geslaagd de top te beklimmen, maar uit de foto's en verslagen van zijn tocht werd later duidelijk dat hij op een lagere bergtop in de buurt was geweest.
De eerste officiële beklimming was op 7 juni 1913 door een groep onder leiding van Hudson Stuck. In 1947 was Barbara Washburn de eerste vrouw op de top. Hoewel het niet zonder gevaar is, wordt de berg nog vaak beklommen. Elk jaar gebeuren er vele ongelukken op de Denali, soms met fatale afloop. Sinds 1932 zijn er 108 doden gevallen op deze berg.

  • 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.
