Photograph of the mess hall at Camp Eielson in Denali National Park and Preserve, as viewed close-up. The mess hall stands in the near distance at center.

Corrugated sheet metal covers the roof and lines the base of the structure. The door to the mess hall stands ajar at right. Windows arranged in groups of 3 line the side of the building. Beyond the mess hall, a cabin is visible standing in the distance at right. A mountain covered in patches of snow rises in the background.
