Alaska: Denali National Park—Experience Camp Denali Make the most of your visit to the Land of the Midnight Sun!
Overview
For an incredible wildlife experience, consider a stay at Camp Denali, a beautiful natural haven deep in the heart of Denali National Park. Daily activities include hiking the backcountry with expert naturalist-guides, canoeing, mountain biking, and fishing. Each day you can choose which suits you best! Rustic but beautifully-appointed guest cabins have superlative mountain views of Denali, and are a short walk to the historic hand-hewn lodge and informal dining room where sumptuous meals are served. Evening programs presented by staff naturalists and visiting specialists are designed to further acquaint you with the Far North.
Day 1: Arrival day
NOTE: This trip can be taken as a 4-day trip (3 nights) or a 5-day trip (4 nights). The below itinerary refers to the 5-day trip; the difference is simply more or less time in Denali National Park. Weeklong stays can also be arranged—call for details!
Your stay begins on the afternoon of your first night stay. Plan to meet our driver/guides at the Denali National Park rail station at 12:30 p.m. Our departure is at 1:30 p.m. and we'll stop en route for a picnic supper (the day's main meal) around 4:00 p.m. Upon your arrival at Camp Denali, we will welcome you with fresh fruit, dessert, and hot beverages, and a short orientation before we show you to your cabin.

Days 2-4: While you are at Camp Denali
Breakfast is at 7:30 a.m. each morning and after breakfast, your host and hostess will describe the guided options for the day. Each day, you may choose from three different levels of guided outings: an easier naturalist foray, or a moderate or strenuous outing. We also have mountain bikes, canoes which are moored at the north end of Wonder Lake, just 3 miles away, and fishing gear for use at any time during your stay. Soon after breakfast, a lunch buffet will be presented, and you will be invited to design a sandwich of your choice on a variety of fresh-baked breads. We plan to depart on our guided activities by 9-10:00 a.m. each day, so you can enjoy a full day in the "heart of Denali National Park". Guided options return 3-5:00 p.m., and dinner is at 6:30 p.m. At 8:30 each evening we offer a program in the lodge.
With a four night stay, you will have three full days to explore and absorb the wilderness of this world-renowned national park. Camp Denali is an authorized National Park Service Concessionaire. Also designated as Denali National Park's sole historic operator of educational guided hiking and field trips, this 30-year family owned and operated business continues its tradition of active exploration beyond its own spectacular area around Wonder Lake. That means you can explore more of the Park's remote alpine valleys and lofty ridges and enhance your opportunities for wildlife sightings.
