This is a purchased wired pamphlet when visiting Denali National Park. Handy booklet with areas to write notes. Wonderful photos of the flora and fauna of the park with some geology information.

Following an amazing National Park Service trip through a tiny slice of Denali National Park, our driver gave each of us this book of photos and information. Though the book is quite short, it does provide the reader with a quick overview--and reminder--of what this amazing park and preserve provide.

Just reading this short line written in A Naturalist in Alaska by by naturalist Adolph Murie made this book worthwhile: "One need not see a wolf to benefit from his presence; it is enough to know that there is the possibility of discovering one on some distant ridge. It is enough to know that the wolf still makes his home in this beautiful wilderness region to which he contributes vividness, color and adventure...an emblem of unspoiled country."

Getting ready to travel to Alaska and this was in my sister's library. Beautiful photographs and almost poetic writing. Some decent environmental and geological information.
