🚧 Denali Park Road Closure Update 🚧
The Denali Park Road is now closed at Mile 3 as the park transitions to winter operations. It will remain closed until mid-February.

❄️ Winter Visitor Center Hours ❄️
The Winter Visitor Center is open to the public seven days a week from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with the exception of Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day.

🌲 Winter Adventures Await 🌲
Beyond Mile 3, you can enjoy all kinds of winter recreation, including cross-country skiing, skijoring, snowshoeing, and mushing! Our park staff is available by phone or email to relay current conditions of snow accumulation on the park road.

While on the park road, you might spot our sled dogs training for longer patrols later in the season. If you're bringing your dog along, please keep them under control, leashed with a tether under 6 feet, and give the sled dog teams plenty of space to pass. 🐕🛷

Please be aware, the Park Road beyond Mile 3 will continue to be plowed for administrative use through the month of October. If you encounter heavy equipment during this time, please move off the road to allow it to pass.

Stay safe and enjoy the beauty of Denali in winter! 🌨️

“Winter is coming” – Ned Stark, Game of Thrones

Snow is gradually creeping down the hillsides in Denali, though a relatively mild fall has kept the ground snow-free at the park entrance—at least for now. The forecast suggests the possibility of snow in the coming days, so winter could arrive soon! Any significant snowfall will close the park road at Mile 3, and regardless of the weather, the road will officially close at Mile 3 on October 15th as the park transitions to winter operations.

If you're visiting Denali this time of year, plan ahead! Bring plenty of warm layers and snacks, as the nearest place for food is Healy, about 15 minutes north of the park entrance. Winter is coming—be prepared!

Today is National Poetry Day and we love this poem named Summons by Robert Francis as it captures the essence of how we feel now that the northern lights are back.

Keep me from going to sleep too soon
Or if I go to sleep too soon
Come wake me up. Come any hour
Of night. Come whistling up the road.
Stomp on the porch. Bang on the door.
Make me get out of bed and come
And let you in and light a light.
Tell me the northern lights are on
And make me look. Or tell me clouds
Are doing something to the moon
They never did before, and show me.
See that I see. Talk to me till
I'm half as wide awake as you
And start to dress wondering why
I ever went to bed at all.
Tell me the walking is superb.
Not only tell me but persuade me.
You know I'm not too hard persuaded.
