Ptarmigan Tracks Newsletter
Each fall, we take time to reflect on the summer's happenings, review the many special sightings recorded by our guests and naturalists, and remember fondly the people and stories that enliven our history. What results is Ptarmigan Tracks, an annual newsletter that we hope you find entertaining and informative.

From the prologue of A Long Trek Home by Erin McKittrick*
The plan was to walk, to paddle, and to ski. To leave Seattle and reach the Aleutian Islands under our own power. To travel not just in summer, but also through an entire Alaskan winter. To travel more than 4,000 miles.
We were about to do something audacious. We were about to do something no one had ever done before. I couldn't grasp the full extent of it any more than could our most skeptical questioners.
We planned it, we breathed it, we believed it, but it seemed as though we spent all our time proclaiming a plan that didn't feel real.

60 years of Camp Denali
We're celebrating our 60th anniversary at Camp Denali in 2012! Over the years, there have been some changes, but the vision of Camp Denali's founders still guides us. All summer long, we'll be celebrating the pioneer spirit and 60 years of sharing our unique perspective of Denali with visitors from around the world.
