Denali Glaciers

Denali National Park and Preserve contains over 400 named glaciers covering one million acres of the Alaska Range. This list highlights the park's most significant ice formations, including the 44-mile-long Kahiltna Glacier, the longest in the range. Discover the Ruth Glacier, which flows through the Great Gorge, where granite walls rise 5,000 feet above ice that is nearly 4,000 feet thick. From the surging Muldrow Glacier on the north side to the technical climbing hubs on the south, these glaciers define the rugged topography of North America's highest peak.

M

Herron Glacier

Flows 15 miles north from the slopes of Mount Foraker toward the interior lowlands.
N

Harper Glacier

A high-altitude glacier situated between the North and South peaks of Denali, forming part of the upper climbing routes.
O

Brooks Glacier

A 12-mile-long glacier on the northern side of the Alaska Range, adjacent to the Muldrow Glacier.
P

Chedotlothna Glacier

A 15-mile-long glacier flowing west from the high peaks of the central Alaska Range.
Q

Jeffery Glacier

A tributary glacier located on the northern slopes of the Alaska Range near Peters Glacier.
R

Lacuna Glacier

A 25-mile-long glacier situated between the Kahiltna and Yentna glaciers on the south side of the range.
