From Booklist

Mount McKinley is the centerpiece of Denali National Park, six million acres of Alaskan wilderness just below the Arctic Circle. At 20,320 feet it actually rises 18,000 feet in vertical relief, greater than that of the taller Mount Everest. The Bauers, a well-known team of wildlife photographers with more than 40 books to their credit, have made many trips to Denali. The scenery alone would bring anyone back, but wildlife species, such as grizzlies, wolves, and Dall sheep, are easy to observe in the park. The Bauers give us beautiful views of these charismatic animals as well as more intimate portraits of ground squirrels and ptarmigan. Denali's ecosystem remains intact, as the park has had very little development and receives only about 400,000 visitors per year, so it is a paradise for watching and photographing animals. The Bauers' lovely overview of Denali National Park is a steal at the price, and a useful addition to any library's collection on national parks. Nancy Bent

This review is from: Denali: The Wild Beauty of Denali National Park (Paperback)

Erwin and Peggy Bauer's Denali provides a stunningly beautiful portrait of the park by two wildlife photographers. An essay describes the park's history but it's the photos which captivate in this small but powerful offering.
