The Natural Resource Condition Assessment (NRCA) Program provides framework, funding, and publishing support to parks to aid in the synthesis and documentation of natural resource conditions. Condition assessment reports are a tool to describe selected park resources, and record a snapshot of their current condition, identify trends, and identify potential or current threats and stressors. Understanding the condition and trend of natural resources is key for parks and NPS planners to appropriately prioritize and allocate stewardship resources.

Denali National Park and Preserve is located in Interior Alaska. The six-million-acre park in the Alaska Range centers on Denali, the tallest peak in North America at 20,310 feet. The park is bisected by one ribbon of road extending 92 miles into the park. Visitors along the road travel through taiga forest as it gives way to high alpine tundra and snowy mountains in the hopes of seeing Denali and viewing wildlife such as bears, moose, caribou, sheep, and wolves.
