Why Denali National Park?
Denali is six million acres of pure Alaskan wilderness: tundra, braided rivers, glaciers and wildlife including grizzly bears, caribou, wolves and Dall sheep. On your days off you can hike ridgelines, raft the Nenana River, take a flightseeing tour over Denali itself, ride an ATV, or simply watch the sun refuse to set. In late season, the tundra turns fiery red and gold – and if you’re lucky, the northern lights make an appearance.
The lodge community is famously social: seasonal workers from all over the world live, work, hike and celebrate together. Many participants say the friendships they made in Alaska are the real souvenir.
