Alaska Film Archives - UAF | Denali Park Road, 1947 @alaskafilmarchives | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 26 minutes ago.
Wildlife and sights along the park road in Alaska's Denali National Park include a red fox, Arctic ground squirrels, and the great mountain Denali itself. Many scenes were filmed in the Polychrome Pass area. In recent years, a portion of Polychrome Pass known as Pretty Rocks has experienced landslides and slumping, preventing traffic from continuing past this point. The park plans to install a bridge over the affected area in 2024. For more information and details, see the National Park Service Polychrome Area Plan (B&W/Silent/Umatic videotape from 35mm film).
This sequence contains excerpts from AAF-9387 from the Bradford Washburn collection held by the Alaska Film Archives, a unit of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections & Archives Department in the Elmer E. Rasmuson Library, University of Alaska Fairbanks. For more information please contact the Alaska Film Archives.
