Hanging Valley




This hanging valley reminds us of a person reaching towards the sky with open arms giving Bridalveil Fall a welcoming and familiar feel.

Denali National Park and Preserve

From U.S. Department of the Interior:




On this day in 1917, Denali National Park and Preserve was established. While we celebrate the 100th anniversary of this area’s scenic beauty, Denali’s rich history dates back much further. For thousands of years, Alaska Natives have lived on the land surrounding the Denali area and used the resources of the land for food, shelter and trade. Today the park preserves a diverse tapestry of plant life and intact ecosystems where bears, wolves, caribou, moose and Dall sheep roam as they have for thousands of years.
