It's near here that you'll spend the night. The Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge boasts a spacious deck and some of the region's most dramatic Mt. McKinley views. Flightseeing is particularly enticing because of the proximity to the "High One" and a variety of tours take full advantage of Mt. McKinley's dramatic scenery.

McKinley may be visible in its breathtaking splendor from the lookout point at Primrose Ridge. Later, join us on an optional jet boat ride or get behind the wheel of a Jeep for a backcountry safari. Dinner and a horse-drawn covered wagon is one popular evening option. Overnight Denali. |
