Mush! Sled dogs carry on long Alaskan tradition at Denali National Park and Preserve

Denali, AK – The future is in their paws! Meet Denali National Park’s newest sled dogs. 

Long before there were any visitors at Denali National Park and Preserve, there were sled dogs.

“We have had dogs almost continuously for the past 100 years here at the park,” Denali kennels manager David Tomeo said, noting theirs is the only sled dog kennel in the entire federal government. 

Denali’s sled dogs are Alaskan huskies. Visitors can meet the dogs, but they’re not there for entertainment. The working dogs are canine rangers with important duties in the park.
