Denali's single unpaved road traverses over 145 km of open tundra, and the park's wolves — around 80 individuals across several packs — are spotted from the park transit buses that are the only vehicle access allowed beyond the first 24 km. The open treeless terrain gives exceptional visibility whenever a pack is moving across the valleys. The East Fork Pack has been studied here continuously since Adolph Murie's pioneering research in 1939, making this one of the world's longest-running wolf study sites.
