Why Denali?
Denali Park Village sits right on the Nenana River, just minutes from the park entrance. On your days off you can hike alpine tundra trails, spot grizzly bears, caribou and Dall sheep on a park bus tour, go whitewater rafting, ride an ATV through the backcountry, or simply sit by the river with your crew and watch the Alaskan light stretch across the sky until midnight.
Because you’re working the summer-to-fall period, you’ll experience something most visitors never see: the tundra turning brilliant red and gold, the crowds thinning out, and the first aurora borealis displays of the season. It’s the most magical time in the park.
