Denali National Park and Preserve; Vehicle Use

Summary

The National Park Service (NPS) amends special regulations for Denali National Park and Preserve to conform the regulations regarding the number of vehicles that can travel on the restricted section of the Denali Park Road (miles 15-90) to a Vehicle Management Plan that the NPS has been implementing since 2012. This rule implements the plan's limit that no more than 160 vehicles may travel on the restricted section of the road per 24-hour period during the visitor season (also referred to as the "allocation season"), defined in the park's General Management Plan as beginning on the Saturday before Memorial Day and ending on the second Thursday after Labor Day. This limit allows the NPS to meet growing visitor demand while maintaining a high- quality experience for visitors.
