Cook’s ‘Great West & Alaska Brochure’, 1917

President Woodrow Wilson established Alaska’s Mount McKinley National Park the same year as this brochure promoting tours to the ‘last frontier’ was printed. The park is now three times the size, and called Denali National Park, but the landscape and wildlife remain just as awe-inspiring. Covering six million acres, it’s home to Mount Denali (it used to be called Mount McKinley), North America’s tallest peak. Which is why it is a scheduled stop for virtually every cruise line’s Alaskan sailings.
