Drizzly bear?
While grizzly bears are happy to forage and hunt in the mist, humans need to take a few extra steps for maximum comfort. August is one of the rainiest months in Denali. If you're planning on visiting the park in the upcoming weeks, make sure to:
🧦 Pack layers. Rain jackets, gloves, base layers, and hats are great ideas for clothing to pack, especially if you are planning on hitting the trails.
🌧 Check the weather. Conditions can change rapidly in Denali, so make sure to check for possible storms, warnings, or updates. With the varying elevations within the park, it's not uncommon to see rain and snow happening across the same storm system.
🚧 Curious about possible Ranger-led walks? Road conditions? Need information about campgrounds or buses? Visit
nps.gov/dena for information on the latest happenings.
