Wildlife Safety in the Shoulder Season Every wildlife enthusiast enjoys watching a bear scratching its back, almost as much as the bear enjoys satisfying its itch. While amusing, this video serves as a reminder that the Park is home to many bears and other animals that may be encountered on or near roads and in other frontcountry areas. As you travel in the park this shoulder season, enjoy wildlife from a safe distance. Park regulations prohibit visitors from intentionally approaching within 300

Visiting Denali National Park and Preserve in the fall is great for wildlife viewing and witnessing the vibrant fall colors spread throughout the tundra. If you’re lucky, you may also see bull moose sparring, like in this video, in preparation for rutting (mating) season.
