Katmai
Katmai National Park and Preserve is located at the head of the
Alaska Peninsula approximately 290 air miles southwest of Anchorage.
It includes over 4 million acres of land and water and is roughly
bounded by Shelikof Strait to the east, the Lake Iliamna watershed
to the north, the Bristol Bay coastal plain to the west, and the
Becharof Lake watershed to the south.
Denali
Home of majestic Mount McKinley, Denali was originally
established to protect its large mammals. Denali exemplifies interior
Alaska's character as one of the world's last great frontiers for
wilderness adventure. It remains largely wild and unspoiled, as
the Athabascans knew it.
Kenai
Fjord
The Alaska National Interest Lands Act of 1980 created
Kenai Fjords National Park. Humans have had little lasting impact
on this environment, although the park includes a few Native American
archeological sites and isolated gold extraction locations. The
park's overwhelming significance is as a living laboratory of change.
Plants and wildlife subsist here amidst dynamic interactions of
water, ice and a glacier-carved landscape relentlessly pulled down
by the Earth's crustal movements.
Wrangell
St. Elias
This park and preserve is one of the most accessible in
the Alaska Region. The Alaska Highway and the Richardson Highway
provide road access to the north and west boundaries of the park
while the Glenn Highway provides access from Anchorage. The western
boundary roughly follows the Copper River and the eastern boundary
is the international border. The far southeastern boundary stretches
to the Malaspina Forelands and Yakutat Bay of the Gulf of Alaska.
Lake
Clark
The wilderness that comprises Lake Clark National Park
and Preserve is a composite of ecosystems representative of many
diverse regions throughout Alaska. Covering four million acres,
the spectacular scenery stretches from the shores of Cook Inlet,
across the Chigmit Mountains, to the tundra covered hills of the
western interior. The Chigmits, where the Alaska and Aleutian
Ranges meet, are an awesome, jagged array of mountains and glaciers
which include two active volcanoes, Mt. Redoubt and Mt. Iliamna.
