Major Landslide Blocks Denali Park Road

Denali National Park officials say a “massive” landslide has blocked Denali Park Road at Mile 37, beyond the section currently open to the public up to Mile 30 and the Teklanika Rest Area.

Park spokesperson Kris Fister says the slide was discovered by two of the park's road crew supervisors west of Tattler Creek near the road’s approach to Sable Pass Wednesday.

“The slide, which consists of an estimated 30,000 yards of rock and soil, covers approximately 200 feet of the road in depths of up to 35 feet,” Fister wrote in a Friday statement.
