Purpose
In 1917 Mount McKinley National Park was established as a game refuge. The park and the massif including North America\'s highest peak were named for former senator - later President - William McKinley. In 1980, the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) enlarged the boundary by 4 million acres and redesignated it as Denali National Park and Preserve. It exemplifies interior Alaska\'s character as one of the world\'s last great frontiers, its wilderness is largely unspoiled.
