Denali Backcountry Adventure Overview
There seems to be some common misconceptions about the Denali Backcountry Adventure. We’d like to lay those to rest, and give a complete overview of the adventure. First of all, some background on the route:
The Denali Park Road begins about 240 miles north of anchorage, and 120 miles south of Fairbanks, on the George Parks Highway. The Park Road is 92 miles long, and for the most part, unpaved and fairly narrow. It is a truly beautiful route, in an environment yet unspoiled by excessive development. Continue reading
Flightseeing Denali National Park
If you have never witnessed the grandeur of the largest mountain in the western hemisphere, or even if you have seen it from the ground, you have missed out on a whole new perspective. Flightseeing in Denali National Park is a unique experience; there really isn’t an area comparable to the park’s near 6 million acres of enormous glaciers, towering granite walls and snow-covered peaks, on earth. Beholding the entire Denali Massif from the intimate distance that an aircraft can offer is a humbling experience that you never forget. Continue reading

Amazing time in Denali National Park
I walked out of my room that morning to the freshest air, the crispest view of the scenery. I took a picture. I called to my husband, to have a look with me. We just stood there in awe noticing everything from the farthest tree to the dragonflies zooming by. We looked forward to our flightseeing tour in Denali National Park, through the winding valleys of the Alaska Range, and the indescribable vision of Denali herself. It was a flight into the Denali Backcountry Lodge where we stayed for 3 days. We meet some amazing people from all over the world; we went on ATV adventures that were like a dream come true. We saw moose and fox; we saw so many more animals on the trip back on the bus ride.
It was a short adventure that I can’t recommend more. The staff was so friendly, answered our questions, I am sure that they had been asked hundreds of times. Now that we’ve been there we understand what “remote” really means. And the people of the Denali Backcountry Lodge brought some civilization to the wild country in a very unobtrusive way for us to experience.
Thank you,
