Denali National Park and Preserve Traveler Patch

When they marvel at 20,310-foot Denali, visitors to the Alaska wilderness see a mountain whose mass and height almost defy description. Measured from base to summit, Denali is the largest on-land mountain in the world, bigger than Everest. Park visitors also admire what may be the world’s coldest peak. Denali’s high elevation and far-northern location have brought unofficial temperatures lower than -90 degrees F to its upper portions. Permanent snow and ice cover three quarters of the mountain.
