Why Talkeetna?
Talkeetna is a tiny, quirky Alaskan town famous as the launching point for climbers heading to Denali and once known for electing a cat as its honorary mayor. On your days off you can go flightseeing over glaciers, river rafting, hiking, fishing, zip-lining, or simply wander Main Street’s log cabins, coffee shops and live-music bars. Bears, moose and eagles are your new neighbours, and in late summer the northern lights begin to dance above the lodge.
