News from Alaska. Exploring Denali National Park, where wild is still wild. One road, and six million acres to roam. At 20,310 ft, Denali is North America’s tallest — and still growing! Only 30% of visitors ever see the summit. Moose, grizzlies, wolves, and eagles rule the land.

No fences. No signal. Just nature. Midnight sun in summer, auroras in winter. This is Denali — raw, free, and unforgettable.

Tati Posokhina, representative of the 7 Summits Club in Alaska:

6/20- Today is the summer solstice! Here in Talkeetna, Alaska, we’re soaking up 22 hours of daylight — and the sun barely dips below the horizon!

No need for flashlights — just endless golden skies, midnight hikes and kisses, and sunshine that never sleeps.

6/8- Sad news from Denali.

Denali took its first victim this season. Alex Chiu from Brooklyn, New York died after he fell 3,000 feet from Alaska’s Mount McKinley on June 2. Alex Chiu with 2 other partners were ascending Mount McKiney’s West Buttress climbing route on to the Peters Glacier on June 2, which is roughly 12,000 feet above sea level. Chiu was not wearing a rope during the adventure when he fell, and National Park Service officials said the two other mountaineers witnessed Chiu fall and they lowered themselves over the edge of the mountain as far as they could but couldn’t see or hear Chiu fall. The body was recovered on June 4 by helicopter.
