Tour 171

Caribou Lodge is located on a remote lake above the timberline in the Talkeetna Mountains, just southeast of Denali National Park and East of Talkeetna. Nature and Tranquility are the only neighbors. The lodge offers fantastic views of Mt. McKinley and the Alaskan Range to the West, and to the East stand the beautiful Talkeetna Mountains. Wildlife in the area include caribou, moose, grizzly bears, sheep, black bears, wolves, coyotes, fox, wolverine, ermine, otters, eagles, short-eared owls, ptarmigan, ducks, loons, Canadian geese, and swans.  The long days of summer bring awesome early sunrises, and the elegance of the Midnight Sun as it slips behind Mt. McKinley is a sight to behold.  Spend a few days with Mike and Pam, who have lived here for over 16 years, and look forward to sharing their stories and lifestyle with you!
