1. Denali National Park
By:Nate Bruce
Did you know that Denali national park is home to several of the best things
in America and has some of the best tourist attractions.
Denali national park has a lot of history behind it. Denali national park was
established in 1917. It was established to protect some of what were
endangered species, and to protect America's tallest mountain Mount McKinley.
When Denali was first established it was called Mount McKinley national park
until it was changed in 1980 to Denali national park. Early before Mount
McKinley was discovered there was an Indian group that lived there.
Some of Denali's features are Mount McKinley wich is the tallest mountain in
the U.S.A. Mount McKinley is 20,320 feet above sea level. In Denali there are
several types of animals. Denali's most famous animal is the grizzly bear. Denali
also has several types of flowering plant there which is suprising considiring that
Denali has a a cold tundra climate.
Another piece of Denali's history is that it was big in mountneering and a
very big in gold mining. Alot of people went to Denali to try to strike it rich but
hardly anyone did. Denali still has a lot of cabins that were built for people in
the gold rush and now they use the cabins for park ranger stations.
A big challenge Denali is facing is that a lot of air pollutants from around the
world settles over Denali wich polluts the enviorment there. Another big
problem is the funding , Denali relies a lot on supports who donate to park to
help it out.
Now that you know about Denali, you can start planning your own trip to
Denali to see all its animals and plants and also Mount McKinley.
