summit. As your flight departs Talkeetna, you begin to see how the last ice age has shaped the land. Moments later you enter a
world of rugged high mountain peaks and wide glacier filled valleys. Listen as your pilot describes the natural wonders of Denali
National Park. See the Sheldon Amphitheater, beautiful Ruth Glacier, and the Great Gorge (the world's deepest - almost 2 miles
from top to bottom). "No visit is complete without this experience!"

Day 4 : DENALI:
Everything about Denali National Park is big: the scenery, the mountains, the
incredible beauty, and the animals. Early this morning, you will embark on the Denali Park
Shuttle Tour, an excellent way to spot the wildlife for which Alaska is so famous: moose,
bear, wolves, caribou, dall sheep.
The bus stops every 1 hr 10 min. for restrooms and whenever wildlife is sighted as you
travel. Opened in June 2008 the completely reconstructed Eielson Visitor Center was built as
sustainable construction and features informative interpretive exhibits. This is the turnaround
point, allowing 30 minutes to explore the visitor center or the surrounding area with a short
hike. This shuttle time is 8 hours roundtrip, including all stops. AAU arranges for and includes boxed lunch and beverage for the
trip. So bring your camera and binoculars.
Mount McKinley National Park was established in 1917 to protect its large mammals, not because of majestic Mt. McKinley. In
1980, the boundary was expanded to include both the Denali caribou herds wintering and calving ground and the entire Mt.
McKinley massif. This more than tripled the size of the park and was renamed Denali National Park and Preserve. It was also
designated an International Biosphere Reserve significant for the potential for sub-arctic ecosystem
research.
Denali is an Athabascan word meaning The High One. The mountain is officially named Mt.
McKinley but is also referred to as Denali. Mt. McKinley is the highest peak in North America at
20,320 feet. It creates its own weather system and is often covered in clouds. Mt. McKinley is only
visible about 1/3 of the time, so visitors to the park only have about a 30% chance of viewing Mt.
McKinley.
Denali is one of the greatest wildlife viewing areas in the world. Visitors have a chance of seeing
grizzly bears, caribou, moose, Dall sheep, foxes, and wolves. Many smaller animals also inhabit
the park such as arctic ground squirrels, hoary marmots, pikas, snowshoe hares, and beavers. For
those interested in bird watching, there are a variety of birds that migrate to the park for the
summer. The list includes arctic tern, American golden plover, long tailed jaeger, the surfbird, arctic
warbler, the wheatear, willow ptarmigan, golden eagles, and ravens. Approximately 150 species
live in and around the Denali area during the summer months.
This evening, dinner is at a local hot spot featuring th

PALMER: This afternoon’s adventure will take you aboard an airboat ride to Lake
George, the base of Knik Glacier. Lake George, an ice dammed lake was once
responsible for floods of cataclysmic proportions. Knik Glacier, 28 miles long, 6 miles
wide and over 1000 feet thick, is one of Alaska's grandest natural attractions.
Knik Glacier, born in the Pleistocene Glaciation period (the beginning of the Ice Age)
600,000 years ago, covered the Anchorage bowl and the entire Cook Inlet. While it
remains active, with motion imperceptible to the naked eye, this glacier is in a constant
state of change. Participants should be able to step in and out of a Jet Boat or Air Boat
window, which requires some agility. Participants should also be able to navigate a
loose gravel trail with a slight incline. Participants must have the ability to walk unassisted.
After traveling all over the state of Alaska, the Knik Glacier always turns out to be a trip
highlight. We consider ourselves very fortunate to live in such a magnificent landscape. It will be our pleasure to share it with you.
