In the summer of 2013, (click here) a group of 11 climbers made history when they became the first team of African Americans to summit America’s tallest peak — Mt. McKinley in Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska. Marking the 100th anniversary of the first Denali summit, the team’s historic climb sought to inspire a new generation of outdoor adventurers and pave the way for young people of color to become passionate about America’s great outdoors.
As a nation, we pause in February to honor Black History Month, celebrating the achievements of all black Americans.
