Description

A view of the Savage River Valley found in the Denali National Park.

Denali National Park & Preserve is as vast as the mountain it is named after. The park is laced with beautiful trails from end to end and miles of backcountry to explore off-trail. The Savage River Loop Trail is one of the best for a power hike when you want to get some fresh air. This trail takes you along a stunning river valley following the winding Savage River. Next time you are in Denali National Park, take the time to check out this beautiful trail to take in the grandeur of Alaska.

Denali National Park and Preserve is an American national park and preserve located in Interior Alaska, centered on Denali, the highest mountain in North America. The park and contiguous preserve encompass 6,045,153 acres (9,446 sq mi; 24,464 km2) which is larger than the state of New Hampshire.[3] On December 2, 1980, 2,146,580-acre (3,354 sq mi; 8,687 km2) Denali Wilderness was established within the park. Denali's landscape is a mix of forest at the lowest elevations, including deciduous taiga, with tundra at middle elevations, and glaciers, snow, and bare rock at the highest elevations. The longest glacier is the Kahiltna Glacier. Wintertime activities include dog sledding, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling. The park received 594,660 recreational visitors in 2018.
