Nature
Mount Healy is a 5,716-foot summit in the Alaska Range within Denali National Park and Preserve, known in Denaʼina as Dlel Neelghu Nodaadlghunee, or “mountains that are joined together.” More a long ridge than a single peak, it stretches nine miles east to west, with loose rock, jagged spires, boreal forest at its base, and alpine ridges and snowfields higher up. Near park headquarters and the park entrance, with the highway and railroad along its eastern base, it is among the most accessible mountains in the area and is especially popular for day hikes. Its name honors John J. Healy.
