Denali State Park, Nature reserve in Matanuska-Susitna, United States.
The nature reserve encompasses two million acres of wilderness with diverse landscapes ranging from taiga forests to alpine tundra near Mount Denali.
The protected area gained official recognition in 1917, initially under the designation Mount McKinley, before adopting its current native Athabascan name.
Native Athabascan people maintain strong connections to this land, referring to the mountain as 'The High One' in their traditional language.
Visitors access the park through shuttle buses operating on a 146-kilometer gravel road, with private vehicles restricted beyond kilometer 24.
The nature reserve houses North America's sole subarctic ecosystem where 39 mammal species and 169 bird species thrive in their natural environment.
