Outside the park, there is a touristic area a mile north of the park entrance. It is locally known as “glitter gulch”, because of lots of touristic outfits like big hotels, souvenir shops and restaurants. One can witness similar congregations in other popular tourist destinations in lower 48 states. Coming all the way to Alaska to witness these popular contraptions can put a bad taste on visitors coming to Alaska to see pristine wilderness and little bit of peace and quiet.
8 miles down the highway; Denali Cabins is conveniently located in the midst of boreal forest. Denali Cabins combine the charm of Alaska cabins with the comfort of a hotel room. One can get all the amenities – private bath, TV, phone and comfortable beds, all fitted in a private fragrant cedar cabin.
Denali Cabins also offer regular shuttle service to the park entrance area for those with an itchy urge to shop or to dine. All in all, Denali Cabins is a perfect destination for its location, amenities, and last but not the least one of the most complete narrated scenic and wildlife day trip into the park, Denali Backcountry Adventure, starts right from Denali Cabins.
