Hewn from local timber and
imbued with luxurious touches,
this low-rise lodge just one
mile from the Denali National
Park entrance feels intimate
despite its 650 rooms. The main
building, with its 40-foot windows
and outdoor deck provide for
great views of the Nenana River
Canyon. And its two-story rock
fireplace is the perfect place
to relax. Stroll the river bluff
at your doorstep or sit down
to your choice of meals in one
of the lodge’s five restaurants.
Open in the summer season only, Denali
Princess Wilderness Lodge is
built in the tradition of some
of the great national park lodges,
full of natural wood and surrounded
by nature. Yet right on the premises
you’ll
find tons of restaurant choices:
a deli, pizza parlor, internet
café (where
you can check e-mail), a casual restaurant, and
an upscale dining room.
Of course, you’ll
want to get out there and experience
the magic of Denali National
Park and the wealth of activities
that surround it. The lodge’s
activity desk can set you up
with whatever you like, from
a park tour to hiking, flightseeing,
rafting, and more.
When you’re
done, grab a workout in the
health club, relax with a massage,
or take a soak in the outdoor
hot tubs. Enjoy both shows, Climb
Denali and the Music of Denali,
a dinner theater extravaganza.
The
best way to get here is by
train. The luxurious Midnight
Sun Express, with glass-dome
cars and open-air viewing platforms
makes for an amazing ride,
and packages are available
from Anchorage and Fairbanks.
