Dominating this diverse terrain are Curry and Kesugi Ridges, a 35 mile-long north/south alpine ridge, the backbone of the eastern half of the park.

The plant life of Denali State Park is dominated by white spruce, black spruce, adler and birch forests. Above the timberline, low-growing alpine tundra dominates the landscape including blueberries, high bush and low bush cranberries, currants, and bearberries.
