Why Denali?

Denali National Park and Preserve is home to North America’s highest peak (20,310 ft / 6,190 m), grizzly bears, caribou, Dall sheep and over 6 million acres of pure wilderness. On your days off you can hike alpine ridges, raft the Nenana River, take a flightseeing tour over the glaciers, go ziplining or simply watch the midnight sun that barely sets in June.

By the end of your season you’ll also catch the first golden tundra colors of Alaskan autumn – and if you’re lucky, your first northern lights.

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.
