An impressive number of large mammals—black and grizzly bears, moose, wolves, caribou, Dall sheep—live here in the shadow of North America’s highest point, Mount McKinley. The subarctic landscape includes taiga and tundra, and temperatures can drop to -95°F (-70°C). Visitors come to Alaska’s most popular national park mostly in the summer, although it is open year-round: In the winter outdoor enthusiasts can cross-country ski or dogsled. To minimize the impact of tourism, only authorized shuttle buses are allowed into the interior, and a limited number of hikers are allowed into the different sections of the park.
