Accommodations Inside Denali National Park

Visit the Denali Backcountry Lodge deep within Denali National Park. This remote lodge, located at the end of the 95-mile Park Road in Kantishna, offers you a complete Denali Park vacation experience with surprising comfort.  

Most park visitors limit their visit and stay near the developed and crowded Denali Park entrance. The more adventurous take one of the grandest drives on earth and stay inside the park. Winding through the Alaska Range, deep into the heart of Denali, the "Park Road" offers opportunities to see Denali's famed wildlife: Grizzlies, Caribou, Moose, Dall Sheep, Wolves, and Ptarmigan. In good weather, you will have impressive  views of Mt. McKinley (Denali), the highest point in North America.

The Denali Backcountry Lodge was built in 1989 and is owned by a local Alaskan company. The tour buses that take you to and from the lodge are the most comfortable in the park. There are 30 cedar cabins, each with two beds and its own bathroom. You can choose to upgrade to the newer rooms (premium rooms) or to a new river view room (deluxe rooms). Most of the cabins are close together and near the main lodge.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily at the main lodge, although you can pack a lunch in the morning to take on an excursion, if you prefer. Choose your activities each day. Easy, moderate, and strenuous guided hikes are offered, as well as unguided mountain biking, fishing, and gold panning. Each evening, you have the opportunity to learn more about this amazing national park at a naturalist presentation. Many visitors also enjoy relaxing by the creek with a book from the Alaskan library as they remember a time when life moved a slower pace.
