TOP THINGS TO DO AND SEE IN MT. MCKINLEY
1 Mt. McKinley
The highest mountain in North America, McKinley is also perhaps the coldest mountain in the world outside of Antarctica, a challenge for even the most experienced climbers.
2 Talkeetna
Talkeetna was originally the site of a Tanaina Indian village, and was settled as a mining town in 1896. Today, this small distinctive community is probably the best location to view Mt. McKinley.
3 Denali State Park
Denali State Park covers 325,240 acres north of Anchorage and south of Denali National Park. It boasts a landscape that varies from meandering lowland streams to alpine tundra.
4 Rivers – Talkeetna, Susitna & Chulitna
The Talkeetna and Chulitna Rivers join the Susitna River at Talkeetna, an Indian (Tanaina) word meaning ”river of plenty”. On these waterways, serene beauty and abundant wildlife abound.
5 Glaciers
Glaciers cover one million acres, or one-sixth of Denali National Park. The most massive glaciers in the park drain snow and ice from the flanks of Mt. McKinley.
6 Sled Dog Experience
Experience provides an in-depth look at the world of dog mushing and the Iditarod, Alaska’s great sled dog race, including the training, racing and breeding of these champion sled dogs.
7 Alaska Homesteading
After the U.S. purchased Alaska, farmers, miners and wilderness pioneers began claiming land. Until 1986, homesteading remained a viable method of settling Alaska.
8 Gold Panning
Just as the lure of gold brought the miners to Alaska over 100 years ago, it still does today. Trapper Creek Museum unveils how to pan for gold and how gold mining has progressed through the years.
