Discovery Hike
Discovery Hikes are challenging, off-trail hikes led by park rangers. They are a great way for the adventurous and well-prepared to explore the heart of Denali! These hikes travel everywhere, so expect uneven terrain, water crossings, close encounters with dense vegetation, and unpredictable weather. During the registration process, rangers at the visitor center will provide details about upcoming hikes, including the approximate distance and elevation gain.

Bering Land Bridge National Preserve
AK
Bering Land Bridge National Preserve lies at the continental crossroad that greatly influenced the distribution of life in the Western Hemisphere during the Pleistocene Epoch. It is a vital landscape for Indigenous communities who depend on the land just as their ancestors did for many generations. It is a wild and ecologically healthy landscape unlike any other.
National Park & Preserve
Denali National Park & Preserve
AK
Denali is six million acres of wild land, bisected by one ribbon of road. Travelers along it see the relatively low-elevation taiga forest give way to high alpine tundra and snowy mountains, culminating in North America's tallest peak, 20,310' Mount McKinley. Wild animals large and small roam un-fenced lands, living as they have for ages. Solitude, tranquility and wilderness await.
National Park
Kenai Fjords National Park
AK
At the edge of the Kenai Peninsula lies a land where the ice age lingers. Nearly 40 glaciers flow from the Harding Icefield, Kenai Fjords' crowning feature. Wildlife thrives in icy waters and lush forests along the fjords once carved by the vast expanse of ice. Today, shrinking glaciers bear witness to the effects of our changing climate.
National Preserve
Yukon - Charley Rivers National Preserve
AK
