Why Denali?
Denali National Park covers over 6 million acres of wild Alaskan tundra, glaciers and mountain terrain. In your free time you can hike alpine trails, raft the Nenana River, try ziplining, go flightseeing over Denali itself, spot the Big Five Alaskan animals, and – toward the end of the season – catch your first Northern Lights.
The lodge sits on the Parks Highway in a lively tourist hub full of restaurants, gift shops, adventure outfitters and fellow international students from around the world. Alaska has no state sales tax and no state income tax, so you keep more of what you earn.
About Alaska
Alaska is the ultimate Work & Travel adventure - glaciers, Denali, midnight sun and untouched wilderness. Most students work in remote lodges, national-park resorts and on tour boats, earning some of the highest summer wages in the country.
