Coordinates for the boundary of Denali National Park and Preserve as well as the boundary of the park's wilderness area, can be found here.NPS staff relays in their article, "All areas of the 1980 park additions south of the crest of the Alaska Range opened last week (last week of November) to snowmobile use for traditional activities." Riders are reminded that all lands within the former Mount McKinley National Park on both the north and the south sides of the Alaska Range are closed to all snowmobile use by federal regulation. It is the rider’s responsibility to avoid locations where damage to vegetation or soils could occur, or where vegetation is taller than the protective snow cover.
