LODGE INFORMATION AND ITINERARY

INFORMATION

Location/lodge setting: Founded in 1951, Camp Denali is Alaska's original vacation lodge and nature center, which strives to help visitors gain a personal knowledge and appreciation for the natural history of Denali National Park. Owned and operated by the Cole Family since 1975, it is Alaska at its best. Camp Denali and North Face Lodge are the only lodges with a view of Mt McKinley and the Alaska Range. The family owned and operated lodges are located just 29 air miles from Mt McKinley's summit.

Accommodation: Accommodations at Camp Denali are individual cabins situated along a ridge with commanding views of Mt. McKinley. Each cabin is furnished with a wood burning stove, propane lights, hand crafted quilts and Alaskan artwork. A central bath and shower facility is located within a 3 to 7 minute walk from each cabin. Each cabin has a meticulously kept handmade outhouse. Camp Denali may not be for everyone. But if you desire an experience away from the tempo of modern living and enjoy the camaraderie of kindred souls, you will not be disappointed.

Activities: Camp Denali and North Face Lodge alone can lead guided activities in the higher elevations of the park, past the Wonder Lake area. This allows guests an opportunity to travel 1 to 1.5 hours on guided excursions to access the higher alpine valleys. This also provides additional opportunities to see wildlife en route to the hiking areas.

The staff of naturalists assists guests in first-hand exploration of the Alaskan landscape, searching for wildlife and wildflowers. Nightly programs focus on aspects of Denali's natural and cultural history, including birds, mammals and wildflowers; tundra ecology and geology, mountaineering; land use and natural resource issues. In addition to guided activities, mountain bikes, canoes and fishing equipment are also available. Both lodges have comprehensive libraries. At Camp Denali there is a natural history resource center complete with binocular microscope, herbarium and artifacts.

Meals: From wild berry preserves and greenhouse lettuces to its fresh-baked breads and desserts, the kitchens are known for their creatively prepared and attractively served food made from the finest quality ingredients. Special diets can be accommodated on request.

ITINERARY

Day 1/Arrival: Denali National Park entrance to Camp Denali
Arrive on your own in Denali National Park. At approximately 13:00H, depart from the train station on a wildlife bus tour traveling 90 miles of the park road. Along the way, your driver/naturalist guide will introduce you to the taiga and tundra ecosystems of the Far North. Stops will be made for spectacular views and to observe wildlife. A leisurely stop along the banks of the East Fork River will include a picnic-style dinner. Upon arrival at the lodge (approx. 20-20:30H), your hosts will welcome you at a reception featuring dessert, fresh fruit, and beverages. After a short orientation, you will be taken to your cabin or room. Overnight at Camp Denali.

Day 2+: Inside Denali National Park
Various adventures and activities are offered each day. You can explore Denali National Park with a naturalist guide on an easy, moderate or strenuous guided hike. For the more independent spirits, enjoy a day of mountain biking, canoeing, or fishing on your own. You may decide to just relax in the libraries and living rooms at the lodges. Each evening, after dinner, programs are offered to further enrich your understanding of sub-arctic and arctic regions. Camp Denali offers presentations throughout the summer from visiting specialists. 

Departure Day: Camp Denali to Denali National Park entrance
Enjoy an early breakfast (begins at 6:00H), before departing on your bus tour back to the park entrance. Fewer stops are made on the return trip, so you will arrive back at the park entrance and train station at approximately 11:30H. This leaves plenty of time to catch the train or bus to Anchorage or Fairbanks.

TRAVEL TO ALASKA:

Please make sure you have your proper documents (US Drivers License or passport) with you, your credit card and camera/video recorder.

If you booked a rental car with us that you will pick up upon arrival in Alaska, please make sure you provide us with your flight arrival information so that your car is ready for you when you arrive!

Also remember that Alaska has its own time zone. Alaska is 1 hour behind Pacific Standard Time / 2 hours behind Mountain Standard Time / 3 hours behind Central Standard Time / 4 hours behind Eastern Standard Time.

 

WHAT TO PACK:

Temperatures from June through August range between 60°F / 16° C to 80°F / 27°. May and September are typically cooler, with temperatures ranging between 45°F / 7° C to 55°F / 13° C. Temperatures in the winter can range from -40 degrees to 40 degrees.

If summer or winter the general rule for Alaska is casual, comfortable clothing that can be worn in layers. The first layer should be something thin and next to the skin (try to avoid cotton). The second layer adds warmth and allows you the option of removing if it gets warmer (mostly fleece or similar). The third layer should protect you against rain and wind if necessary.

For day cruises into Prince William Sound and Kenai Fjords National Park, for example, we recommend an extra layer including a scarf, hat and gloves, as it can be chilly on the boats - even in the summer!

Comfortable walking shoes or water repellent hiking boots are also important. 

If you visit in the winter, your outer layer should protect you against the cold and wind. Even so jeans are comfortable, they are not ideal when it is really cold. Ski pants are protecting better against the cold weather. Do not forget to bring a warm scarf, hat, gloves, and boots.
