Dominating this diverse terrain are Curry and Kesugi ridges, which together form a north-south alpine ridge 35 miles long. Roadside vantage points offer excellent views of Mount McKinley and the heart of the Alaska Range. The park borders on Denali National Park and Preserve (see separate entry in national parks section) to the west, and, except for roadside facilities, is essentially a wilderness.
