Fall is a spectacular time to visit Denali National Park. The alpine and subalpine tundra at higher elevations sparkle with fall colors by mid to late August. The taiga at lower elevations glows red in early September, a time when the aspen and balsam poplar trees at the park entrance turn brilliant yellow and gold.
Sometime between late August and early October, autumn settles into Denali National Park, and much of the vegetation changes from lush green to a mix of deep amber, red and orange hues. While autumn lasts three months on the calendar, the season reveals itself in Alaska as a quick two to three week transition between summer and winter.
Many of Denali's most iconic photo spots transform into bold and bright landscapes of golden hills often set back by layers of blue sky and dramatic white and gray clouds.
