Denali National Park

On the next Outdoor Explorer, we will be exploring Alaska’s most iconic park, Denali National Park and Preserve.

KSKA: Thursday, April 04, at 2:00. Denali National Park is turning 100 years old. We’ll learn how the park came into being a century ago, when development of Alaska had hardly begun.
