Great news! The Riley Wildland Fire is 25% contained and firefighters are making progress. Most businesses and tours near Denali National Park are open.

RILEY WILDLAND FIRE UPDATE - JULY 5
Firefighters are making steady progress on the Riley Fire, with containment holding at 5%. Multiple crews are actively working to establish firelines and utilize indirect strategies to contain the fire. Businesses in Nenana River Canyon are beginning to reopen as power is restored. While Denali National Park and Preserve remains temporarily closed, crews are optimistic about the progress made and remain committed to fully containing the fire.

With power now restored, most businesses and tours located outside of Denali National Park, including the Canyon Clinic, are open and operational with regular business hours.

Update:
RILEY WILDLAND FIRE UPDATE – JULY 4 – 10:00am

“Power for the Nenana Canyon / Glitter Gulch area will return to normal operation with power maintained throughout the day. Thanks to the hard work of the fire crews, the Riley Fire has moved far enough away from GVEA’s facilities that it is safe to restore power and maintain the safety of those working on fire suppression efforts.

An assessment of the Riley Fire has been completed and the containment description has been updated to 5%. This does not indicate that the fire has increased, fire containment is expressed as a percentage of a wildfire’s perimeter that has been surrounded by a barrier or control line. While there has been a substantial area of saw line completed, it is not considered contained until fire crews are confident that the fire will not breach that line. Fire crews will continue their efforts from the air and from the ground on Thursday with the priority being to expand the control line around the fire perimeter.

We understand you may have questions, but please refrain from calling our offices at this time. We are working diligently to address the situation and keep our travelers informed. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
