Maps and park boundaries
Posted: Sun Oct 23, 2011 5:52 pm
Last spring I rode south of Cantwell for the first time, I usually ride at Summit Lake. I had received directions from a friend who told me to park at Mile 196 and ride on the west side of the highway. I followed all the tracks and got into some good riding areas and had a blast. This year I was looking online for dates of when riding would begin in this area and found the maps showing how close this area is to the Denali Park boundaries. I wasn't aware that I even needed to be worried about crossing into the park from here, but now I do. I figured I'd share the National Park Service snowmobile regulations and boundary map with everyone. http://www.nps.gov/dena/planyourvisit/snowmobiling.htm The map on the second page of the regulations has GPS coordinates for the boundaries. I also shared this information with my friends who ride at Petersville. They didn't realize how close they were to the park as well.
