On the Edge, Peering In, Defining and Managing the Near-Wilderness Experience on the Denali Park Road

Hallo JC and Manning RE. 2010. On the Edge, Peering In, Defining and Managing the Near-Wilderness Experience on the Denali Park Road. International Journal of Wilderness. 16(3):28-34

Just as the notion of wilderness has evolved over time, so has the concept of a wilderness experience. In this study, we explore the concept of a “near-wilderness” experience at Denali National Park. Using qualitative interviews of visitors on the Denali Park Road, a number of potential indicators of quality for the near-wilderness experience are identified.
