Summary

[edit]
Description

A major rainstorm in late June led to flooding in Denali National Park and road repairs between Wonder Lake and Kantishna. In national parks where rivers run wild and untamed, these heavy rainstorms can cause floods that threaten park infrastructure and visitor safety. (Yosemite, Mount Rainier, and Rocky Mountain are just a few of the parks where major floods have rearranged both landscapes and infrastructure.)

Since heavy rainstorms are now more severe and are occurring more often, park staff will be increasingly challenged with keeping visitors safe. Learn more about our increasing heavy rainstorms at nca2014.globalchange.gov/report/our-changing-climate/heav....
