Wolverines are a rare sighting anywhere in the world and Denali National Park is no exception. It's difficult to say for sure, but with its ease of backcountry wilderness access, Denali could be one the best places in North America for travelers to see wild wolverines. Still there are typically fewer than five wolverine sightings reported each summer. In September of last year I saw a wolverine in the wild for the first time. I started searching for information on wolverines in Denali. I quickly determined that very little is known about Denali's wolverine population, in fact the only thing that we can be sure of is that wolverines exist here. In November I pitched the idea of doing a small wolverine study to my supervisor, she agreed that it was a good idea and since that day my life has been consumed by this project.
