Review & FAQ:

Located south of the Denali National Park and Preserve in the town of Talkeetna, the Talkeetna Ranger Station is the center of mountaineering operations for Denali (Mt. McKinley). The rustic and beautiful station features interpretive programs and videos that offer a wealth of information about the mountain, particularly for climbers aiming to head up its slopes, who can also stop here for an orientation to the mountain and to purchase their climbing permits. The station is also home to a fascinating collection of stunning photographs of Denali's glaciers and mountains taken by explorer and adventurer Bradford Washburn. Talkeetna Ranger Station is open year-round.
