Highlights

• Enjoy charmingly rustic lodging inside Denali National Park, where fewer than 5% of all visitors stay

What's this trip about?

In Athabaskan, Denali means “the Great One”—not surprising a name for this mountain given its size. Denali National Park accounts for six million acres of untamed wilderness, 39 documented species of mammals, 169 species of birds, 14 species of fish, more than 650 flowering plants and North America’s tallest mountain: Denali, formerly known as Mount McKinley. Bears, wolves, moose and hundreds of other wild animal species roam freely, and the taiga forest gives way to high alpine tundra. It’s an untamed wilderness that few have the chance to experience.
