  • Alaska Range
    Alaska Range Introduction The heavily glacierized Alaska Range consists of a number of adjacent and discrete mountain ranges that extend in an arc more than 750 km long (figs. 1, 381). From east to west, named ranges include the Nutzotin, Mentas- ta, Amphitheater, Clearwater, Tokosha, Kichatna, Teocalli, Tordrillo, Terra Cotta, and Revelation Mountains. This arcuate mountain massif spans the area from the White River, just east of the Canadian Border, to Merrill Pass on the western side of Cook Inlet southwest of Anchorage. Many of the indi- Figure 381.—Index map of vidual ranges support glaciers. The total glacier area of the Alaska Range is the Alaska Range showing 2 approximately 13,900 km (Post and Meier, 1980, p. 45). Its several thousand the glacierized areas. Index glaciers range in size from tiny unnamed cirque glaciers with areas of less map modified from Field than 1 km2 to very large valley glaciers with lengths up to 76 km (Denton (1975a).

Alaska Range glaciers extend in elevation from above 6,000 m, near the summit of Mount McKinley, to slightly more than 100 m above sea level at Capps and Triumvi- rate Glaciers in the southwestern part of the range.

  • Foraker's Southwest Ridge
    Foraker's Southwest Ridge E r ik L e R o y T HE massive southwest ridge of For- aker is a labyrinthine collection of ribs and buttresses which, with mean­ dering nonchalance, rises out of several different glaciers headed in sev­ eral different directions. The point of confluence for these subordinate ridges is a 13,800-foot-high spot, essentially a peak itself, known as “The Fin.” The Fin was first noticed and named by the original-ascent party in 1934. It is the guardian of Foraker’s southwest flank. Regardless of where one begins, the Fin must eventually be traversed. Of the three expeditions that have atttempted this lengthy and convoluted ridge, no two have chosen the same beginning line. In 1976 a Portland party gained the ridge that separates the Lacuna from the Yentna Glacier and was headed Finward when a loss of vital equipment prompted them to beat a prudent retreat. This past spring a party from Anchorage ap­ proached the ridge from the north along the Herron Glacier: they had succeeded in traversing the Fin before a fall, an injury and a rescue made them withdraw.* In early May of this year we chose for our efforts a ridge separating the east and west forks of the Yentna Glacier. This southwest ridge would deposit us, after approximately seven kilo­ meters of climbing, in a snow bowl at the foot of the Fin about seven kilometers from the summit. After our first few days on the glacier we were still, with blissful ignorance, undaunted by the considerable length involved.

O. Box 9 Denali Park, AK 99755 Dear M r. Tranel: The State of Alaska has reviewed the Special Winter 2001 Edition of The Denali Dispatch, which outlines draft alternatives the National Park Service is considering for the Denali National Park and Preserve (DNP&P) Backcountry Management Plan (BMP), and seeks ideas about a definition of traditional activities supported by snowmachines in the park additions and preserve. The State appreciates this opportunity to review this update, as well as the Service's continuing efforts to integrate State involvement in national park planning. This letter, which represents the consolidated views of State of Alaska agencies, first responds to the definition of traditional activity for the “old park” and Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) additions, then discusses how the draft alternatives might jibe with Denali State Park operations and plans, then offers page-specific comments. Definition Of Traditional Activities As we elaborated more fully in our July 10, 2000 State letter regarding the Final Rule 36 CFR Parts 5 and 13, the State believes the revised definition of “traditional activities” is inconsistent with ANILCA, confuses permissible methods of access (snowmobiles) with traditional activities (recreation), and inappropriately places the definition in a site-specific context.

Box 9, Denali Park, Alaska, 99755. A reconnaissance inventory of the vascular plant flora of Denali National Park and Preserve was conducted during the period 1998-2001. The primary goal of this project was to synthesize existing floristic information with the results of targeted original inventory field work in order to produce a voucher-based list of the vascular plant species that occur within the Park. In order to accomplish this fundamental goal of documenting the flora of Denali National Park and Preserve there were five major objectives that needed to be met: 1) to assemble all available pre-existing floristic data into a highly functional database; 2) to assess the strengths and weaknesses
