Garner combines the remoteness of Alaska’s interior with access along the George Parks Highway in a way that reflects its position near the Nenana River valley and the Alaska Range. This small locality lies close to the northern approach to Denali National Park and Preserve, where a single road leads into a vast protected backcountry. The park was established in 1917 as Mount McKinley National Park, long before it received its present name. Winter brings prolonged snow cover and brief daylight, while summer days are exceptionally long at this latitude. Garner illustrates how road travel, small-scale settlement and wilderness meet in Interior Alaska.
