Denali Opens Northern Portions of 1980 Park Additions to Snowmobiling for Traditional Activities

The following press release was published by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service on Dec. 14, 2021. It is reproduced in full below.

The management of Denali National Park and Preserve has determined that there is adequate snow cover for the use of snowmobiles for traditional activities in all areas of the 1980 park additions.

Riders are reminded that all lands within the former Mount McKinley National Park on both the north and the south sides of the Alaska Range are closed to all snowmobile use by federal regulation. Overall, riding conditions are variable. It is the rider’s responsibility to avoid locations where damage to vegetation or soils could occur, or where vegetation is taller than the protective snow cover.
