Denali National Park and Preserve
Cross Country Skiing

Cross-country skiing is a peaceful and rewarding way to explore Denali, whether on an afternoon trip on sled dog trails, along the Park Road, or on an extended trip into the backcountry. Telemark skiing and snowboarding involve long climbs on foot, but are becoming increasing popular in Denali. If you plan to travel in areas that present avalanche hazards, please have proper training and equipment. And remember: we encourage you to travel with a partner or a group.

Please be prepared for all conditions and call the park with any questions you may have about trail conditions and winter recreation in Denali (907-683-2294 daily, 9 am - 4 pm).
