A Trail Near Wonder Lake, Denali National Park And Preserve

A dirt and gravel trail that parallels Wonder Lake on a sunny day in Denali National Park and Preserve

"Wonder Lake is an iconic part of Denali. Views of the Alaska Range, and Denali in particular, are fantastic when skies are clear. The area can be cloudy, and mosquitoes can be a major nuisance most of the summer, but the beautiful landscape still drawns many visitors each year. This region is much wetter than other parts of the park through which the road passes, providing opportunities for seeing waterfowl."

Denali's Muldrow Glacier Currently Experiencing An Historic Surge Event

A "spectacle of nature," in which the Muldrow Glacier in Denali National Park and Preserve has suddenly surged forward for the first time in more than six decades, has created a scientific window for glaciologists to better understand the park's rivers of ice. Though highly unusual, the glacier's rapid movement is not believed to be linked to climate change but rather due to the "unique nature of the structure and composition of the glacier’s ice, its surrounding rocks, and the topography it is moving through."
