Why choose HAP Holland America Denali Lodge
Why Denali?
Alaska is the ultimate Work & Travel destination. On your days off you can hike alpine ridges, raft the Nenana River, spot moose, caribou and grizzlies on a park bus tour, take a flightseeing trip over Denali’s glaciers, or simply watch the sun refuse to set. In late summer the tundra turns fiery red and gold, and if you stay into the fall season, the northern lights start to appear.
Because it’s a remote destination, employee housing and dining options are typically available on or near property, so you’ll live minutes from work – and minutes from the trailheads. You’ll also share a small mountain community with hundreds of other seasonal staff from around the world, which makes for an unforgettable social season of bonfires, hikes and road trips.
