• Geological Origin: A massive granite block uplifted about 60 million years ago during tectonic activity.
• Height: It rises approximately 18,000 feet (5,500 meters) from the Denali Fault to its higher southern summit.
• Snow and Glaciers: The upper half is permanently snow-covered, feeding glaciers like Kahiltna, Muldrow, Peters, Ruth, and Traleika.

Denali National Park: It serves as the central feature of this park and preserve.
