A quiet winter scene on the Horseshoe Lake trail. This trail has transformed into a winter wonderland of frosty spruce and feathery ice crystals on frozen streambanks. For those prepared for the conditions, exploring Denali's trails in the winter can be a magical experience.

It’s the #GreatNPSBakeOff! Here we have biscuits with Denali wild blueberry and cranberry jams, waffles with spruce tip syrup, and an apple-bluebarb pie with wild blueberries and locally grown rhubarb. Have you ever baked with any wild ingredients you’ve collected yourself?

RESCHEDULED to December 28th, 4-6 pm - Winter Solstice Ski and Stroll. With temperatures expected to be near or below -20F tomorrow, the park has decided to reschedule its Winter Solstice Ski to next Wednesday, December 28th when the temperatures are forecasted to be much warmer.

This time of year, direct sunlight doesn’t reach the ground at the Winter Visitor Center in Denali. The sun’s low-angled rays are blocked by the surrounding mountains. This means that on clear days, beautiful alpenglow lights up the mountainsides for the brief daylight hours.

Join us for a winter solstice ski and stroll on Wednesday, December 21st, from 4 - 6 pm! Ski, snowshoe, or stroll on a snowy winter’s night down a trail lit by ice luminarias. The event is family-friendly and trails are appropriate for all levels of skiing or snowshoeing ability.

This cute nose belongs to Apollo, one of the pups from summer 2021. Apollo is starting his first winter as a full-fledged member of Denali’s dog team. It’s time for him to run with the big dogs! What advice do you have for Apollo as he starts his career as a Denali canine ranger?

Mornings can be hard. What if you like sunrises but hate getting up early? You could always plan a winter visit to Denali! Sunrise today was at 10:08am, and it will keep getting later for another two weeks. What is your favorite thing about the shortest days of the year?

Here are some wolves playing with a fun new toy they found on a tree! This trail camera may have been destroyed by wolves, but other cameras have provided valuable information. You can learn more about wolves in Denali and the tools we use to study them at https://t.co/c4V8SBXXDN

There is a display providing paper and pencils in the Denali Visitor Center titled “What does Denali mean to you?” Here are some of the responses we received this summer. Do any of them resonate with you? Would you write something different? What does Denali mean to you?

Some hibernate, some migrate, and some…..tolerate! The hoary marmot (Marmota caligata) tolerates winter by entering a lethargic torpid state for 8 months. No one knows how to chill like a marmot! * Wood frog enters the chat * NPSPhoto/ Damian Popovic

What a summer it's been! We've had the privilege of watching an incredible transformation in the park over the past few months. What's it like watching the seasons change where you live? #FallColors #FallFoliage #Denali #Alaska

Exploring a place as vast as Denali National Park and Preserve might make you feel like you’re adventuring in an open-world video game. What's your favorite way to adventure in the outdoors? #OpenWorld #Gaming

National Parks, like Denali National Park & Preserve, provide people from all around the world with the opportunity to find themselves completely immersed in nature. Do you remember a time when you found yourself immersed in nature? #Wilderness #FallColors

You're working too hard! Be like a Denali, sled dog puppy and take a nap once in a while! #Denali #KennelCentennial #Sleddogs #DenaliDogs #Alaska #Puppy

Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. How many fall colors can you spot? What's your favorite?

How about a poem and a scroll through this morning's fall color changes on a dog walk with Disco on the park road? Nothing Gold Can Stay By Robert Frost, but read it in wise Ranger Bill's slow, gravely voice:

A rare appearance by two wolverines quickly became the talk of the park this week. These critters spent part of their day peeking at visitors from a culvert along Denali Park Road! #Wildlife #KeepWildlifeWild #Denali #NPS
