National Parks with Jackie

National parks offer extraordinary experiences; it’s not always possible to get to a park. Take a virtual tour with us and see the glory, hear nature sounds, discuss the journey.

Denali National Park and Preserve encompasses 6 million acres of Alaska’s interior wilderness. Its centerpiece is 20,310-ft.-high Denali (formally know as Mount McKinley), North America’s tallest peak.

This is natures playground and it’s at its wildest. As you explore the terrain of tundra, spruce forest, meadows and glaciers, you will come into contact with North America’s most iconic species and apex predators. You are very likely to spot a moose and Dall sheep, or perhaps a wolf, grizzly bear, or caribou.

Visiting Denali is a little more complicated than taking a trip to other National Parks. There are fewer services and limited trails. So we will be showing a few prime videos.

Come join us! Feel free to bring snacks, watch the presentation, explore its history, people and, soak up this unique landscape. After, we can discuss this beautiful National Park.
