FAIRBANKS, Alaska — A section of Denali National Park and Preserve is now open to snowmobiles.
The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reported the area south of the Alaska Range crest was opened Friday for snowmobile use.
Because of inadequate snow cover, areas north of the crest are closed.
Also closed are lands within the former Mount McKinley National Park.
National Park Service officials say riding conditions are “potentially dangerous” because of high avalanche hazards and thin ice and open water on rivers.
