From Booklist
Denali National Park in Alaska is home to North America's highest peak, Mount McKinley. Denali, Athabascan for "the great one" or "the high one," is the original name of the mountain and the current name of the park. Mount McKinley National Park, the first new national park after the creation of the National Park Service, was set aside in 1917 primarily for the protection of its wildlife. Kennan Ward, a naturalist-photographer, has worked in Denali for more than 30 years and was given access to many of the remote areas of the park. He tells of his days as a seasonal ranger in the park, his discoveries of how the tundra and mountain ecosystems work, and his encounters with the wildlife. The main attraction of the book is Ward's magnificent photographs. Caribou bulls settle an argument by rearing up to box with their forefeet, protecting their still-growing velvet antlers; a mother grizzly leads a young cub along the crest of a beaver dam; and through it all, Denali rises over the landscape.
