Human Development and Impacts at Nenana River: 1976-2005

A photo pair showing Human Development and Impacts at Nenana River: 1976-2005

This photo pair is an aerial view looking towards the Nenana River Canyon. These photos do not capture the entirety of the area, but show the large scar from the road cut ascending to hotels perched above the canyon. The development occurred not long after the completion of the George Parks Highway, connecting two of Alaska's major cities, Anchorage and Fairbanks. With increasing road traffic came increasing visitation to the park, and an increasing need for visitor services. Much of this development has occurred just outside the park boundaries, and is primarily concentrated in the dramatic Nenana River Canyon.

Original year: 1976; Rephoto year: 2005
